Thesis: While Weintraut succeeds to an extent from a structural and organizational perspective, her editorial is regrettably weak, providing sufficient "logos" and "pathos," but lacking true "ethos," and thus degrading her contentions into weak and vague assumptions.
- begins very good, sufficient background information
- very weak points (all guns can kill, one is enough, some seemingly irrelevant or pointless arguments there)
- mixes opinion with fact, knocking down her credibility when trying to pass opinion as fact (video games/media)
- ethos--immature, ignorant at times, student (little qualifications there)
- logos--some logic, however assumptions/presumptions =/= logic
- pathos--some there, but missed opportunities abound (AZ shooting mostly)
(Note for E. Henderson: I forgot to post my prewriting until now, sorry it's a little late!)
