The other day, my mother told me a story she heard on the news about a set of twins in a car accident. Interested in the story, I looked up an article myself. I found "After twin sisters plummeted off a Hawaii cliff, one died. The other was charged with murder." The article's title immediately catches my eye. Apparently, the twins were arguing while driving and the one sister sped up and purposefully drove off a cliff. The car was crushed, one sister died, and the other was in critical condition. Then, the sister was charged of second degree murder, which she later was found not guilty. Not only does the article talk about the initial accident, but also informs the reader on what their life like was before the accident and their relationship.
This article educates and pulls emotion. It educates the reader by telling them about what happened to the twins in Hawaii. It pulls emotion because it is such a horrific story. Not only does that pull emotion from the reader, but also because they have direct quotes from two witnesses.The article says, " 'You could tell she was very violently swearing at somebody else in the car,' Lau told KHNL. 'She was mad and when she took off, it was in a rage. So she floored it and was in a rage as she sped past us.'" This only makes the reader feel emotion and picture the scene for themselves.
