Traveling around the world is a luxurious experience that some wish; however the cost eliminates the yearning. In the article “How Millennials Are Changing Travel”, Amanda Machado argues that millennials should continue to travel despite the economic hardship. Through the usage of ethos, sentence structure, and conversational tone she conveys her audience.
Machado constructs her argument using Aristotle's ethos strategy more so than logos or pathos. She gave an important background information on herself; Such as how she wished to travel since high school. “I got a passport when I was 16 so I could visit my extended family in Ecuador.” She connects with the millennials by letting them know her age and show how she rarely travel beyond the states. …show more content…
She begins stating “A disillusioned, recession-battered generation is investing in overseas experience—and hoping the bet pays off.” She uses words such as “battered generation” and “battered” implying that millennials are in a war with the recession and hoping to win by traveling.This opening draws millennials and gives them hope of traveling without having to worry about the “recession”. Machado asserts periodic sentences more so than short sentences to create a suspension which draws the millennials until the last words.For example,“They are spending less time in “major gateway cities” and instead exploring more remote destinations, staying in hostels instead of hotels, and choosing long-term backpacking trips instead of two-week jaunts.”She could have simply state that millennials are extending their vacation, however, she use syntax to allure her audience. Machado allured and conveys millennials that if they do not travel now they will continue to work at a job they hate and may not even earning enough to retire. She quoted a friend “We’re looking at the corporate world as it is now, and this yester-year of people spending all their life working at a job they often hated, retiring, and that’s it, and we’re disillusioned with that,”. Machado also connected with her audience by asserting her
