“Carly Fiorina’s Shameless Promotion”

In this article, Frank Bruni writes about Carly Fiorina’s
downfalls as a presidential candidate. First, he starts of with saying what he
liked about Fiorina. He opens up his article by saying “Carly Fiorina gives one
heck of a speech. That was my first impression, a positive one…” However, he
then begins naming all of her downfalls. He talks about many of her payments
are late. He also states that many of her former employees, when asked if they
would work or her again, say that they would rather fight in Iraq than work for
her again.
Bruni appeals to logos in this article. He states many facts
and incidents about Carly Fiorina. Bruni also appeals to ethos because he
doesn’t just bash all the bad things that Carly Fiorina has done. At first, he
states the things that he likes about Fiorina. After, that he states what she
has done wrong. This allows the article to not sound so biased. He states some
facts for the opinion of the other side. This makes Bruni sound trustworthier.
Mr. Bruni,
ReplyDeleteI really loved how you included so many examples of incidents including Fiorina in this article. What do you think about the other presidential candidates? How do you think they compare to Fiorina? Are Fiorina’s faults prominently greater than the other candidates, or were you just trying to focus on her faults in this artivle?
