Reflection

  Throughout the newspaper there are several rhetorical devices in play. In the feature article about Roger Chillingworth curing a boy from a "mysterious disease". The article brings out pathos in the reader as their emotions go out to the mother and the child. The article also creates a dramatic tension as the reader reads how the doctor saves the boy from his disease. I created this tension along with the pathos to hook the reader and even give them a sense of worry and then flood them with relief at the end when the boy is saved. An antiphrasis is also put into play in the article when the mother describes how Chillingworth works with "feverish precision".
  For the opinion article, it is based off the opinion of a young boy who is thinking about Pearl and what he knows about her. The article displays ethos when he questions if the way she is treated and talked about by the adults around him. Logos are put in play when the boy begins to question if being a "spawn of the Devil" is a bad thing or not, because he thinks that if a father loves his daughter that is a good thing no matter who the father is, and that is the logic that the boy thinks is true. There are also other rhetorical devices like amplification of the word "creepy" at the beginning of the article and repetition of the phrase "spawn of the Devil". By putting all these rhetorical devices together the opinion of the boy shows another ethical and logical picture not shown before to the audience for them to consider.
  The obituary of Reverend Dimmesdale picks on the emotion of the reader. The audience loves the Reverend for his remarkable speeches and in reading this they are probably sad to see him go, even after they learned that he had been a sinner as well. He begins the obituary with an emotional speech about himself and his love for the people around him. Then he gives an admittance of guilt which is meant to change the audience's emotion. He ends the obituary with a strong allusion towards the Devil in defense to his daughter. This plays with the audience's emotional state until the very end and leaves them thinking about what the Reverend said to them in the obituary.
  The advertisement, like very advertisement is bright, flashy, lots of colors, shows a picture of the product, and gives all the basic information someone might need to know. The advertisement makes people think for a moment about their appearance, and then by doing so makes the audience believe that they need to buy the product to better their appearance. It also states that the gloves are made for people with "class", which also makes the audience want to buy them so they can appear to be like upper-class. The advertisement also states "Straight out of Italy" making it seem like something that is hard to get, so it creates a sense of urgency to get them while there is still a chance. These devices together will give a person multiple reasons to go out and buy the product.
  The cartoon, though it looks like it's set in modern times, depicts Hester Prynne ironically complaining about the Reverend. She begins stating what she has done and why she did it, and when she states why she did it she creates an antanagoge by saying "he was so slick, but he did have those mesmerizing eyes". The phrase "mesmerizing eyes" is also an epithet as well. She ends it with sarcastically complaining how she is the one who gets in trouble and has to deal with the baby as the Reverend get's to keep his normal life. So with the combination of the sarcasm, the epithet and antanagoge the comic manages to create an ironic tone through what Hester is saying.
