We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people deserve to be free from judgement. We are often forced to live the way others perceive us.…
Considering the rise of terrorist attacks around the world, the reader will eventually be convinced of her point. On the other hand, in “if looks Could Kill” the authors use logic to pull the audience to their side. They start their articles with brainstorming questions, to engage the reader’s sense of logic.
