If I was the front page editor of the New York Times, and I was given the opportunity to pick one article to write about, I would take my options in and carefully decide what topic to write about. In this case, I am given three options. I could write about the capture of a live Loch Ness Monster, Sasquatch being taken into captivity, or that the president of the United States being diagnosed with thyroid cancer. After a lot of thought and consideration, I have chosen to write about the capture of a live Loch Ness Monster. I would write a front page article about a Loch Ness Monster for many reasons. The world today does not have many facts or information about sightings of a Loch Ness Monster. I feel that readers of the New York Times would be very …show more content…
I originally wanted to write about Sasquatch, because personally, that is what I knew the most about. We have heard so much about Sasquatch that I found it interesting. After much thought, responses from other people, and research it was brought to my attention that the Loch Ness Monster might be more interesting to find more information about. There is so many unknowns in this world and facts and evidence about waters and specifically creatures such as the Loch Ness Monster are slim to none. Therefore, after giving this more thought I decided to do my research and article on the Loch Ness Monster. Not only will it give people the satisfaction of finally seeing and knowing more about it, but it will also give more knowledge about the little research we have on the worlds bodies of water and the other things we may come to find. However, I know the president is a very strong topic for many people. The news company I were to work for would probably find my decision foolish. I know this would be a consequence I would have to provide a lot of research and valid arguments to explain my decision, which I am confident I can

    In a foreword to Subhankar Banerjee's book, former President Jimmy Carter makes an argument against allowing drilling and industrial activity in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. In his defence of his position, Carter effectively uses a combination of factual evidence, style, and appeals to emotion to persuade the reader of his ideas. Carter starts the foreword off by describing a time when he went to the Arctic Refuge with his wife, and recounting all of the Refuge's natural beauty, from the "brilliant mosaic" of plant life to the "spectacle" of caribou migration. This use of imagery helps create the feeling that the Arctic Refuge is sacred and beautiful, and therefore deserving of protection; this is a form of emotional appeal; his description of this in the form of a narrative also makes him feel more genuine and relatable.…

    Jimmy Carter applies a crafty choice of words in his foreword, beginning with his representation of the wildlife reserve. He mentions how he gazed at the “brilliant mosaic of wildflowers, mosses, and lichens” and reminisced when “the sweep of tundra before [them] became flooded with life.” By pointing out the elegance and allure of the ANWR, he presents the refuge as more than simply mountains and trees. He portrays it as an area with depth, soul, and life, touching the hearts of the audience. His adept application of language reinforces his argument by providing the readers with more of a reason to be on the side of preservation.…

    Whether you want to call it The Abominable Snowman, yeti, Wendigo, Yowie, skunk ape, sasquatch, or even the Grassman, the beast most familiarly known as Bigfoot exists. For centuries, tales, myths, legends, and elaborate stories have existed about the cryptid Bigfoot. The cloudy and question-filled nature of Bigfoot is intriguing to most of the world. Doubters simply play off this species existence by arguing that it is a misidentified large animal or question why there has been no evidence that proves Bigfoot’s existence is guaranteed, even though evidence does exist that undoubtedly proves sasquatch are alive inhabiting areas around the entire globe.…
