This compares to the government in the book because they violated people’s privacy for no reason, listening into their conversations, having to put notes into pens in order to communicate privately. “Data is shared with companies that use it to offer us services they think we want” They are tapping into our phones to figure…

(I am side 2: "Military Women in Combat: Why Making It Official Matters") "The Under Cover Parent" by Harlan Coben Coben begins his essay with an explanation of his personal experience and initial thoughts on spyware. In the second paragraph, Coben describes consumer-level spyware, and he explains how it works. Coben appeals to the reader's pathos by pointing out the difference in the level of invasion between the government and your family. He even goes as far as to call parents who survey…

would be violating their privacy completely; the government would also be abusing power because technically the government would be violating the 4th amendment, and finally the government would be abusing power because the U.S is supposed to be ruled by the people.

One of the most interesting ways he pinpoints his psychology is through the use of Allusion. While he explains his reasoning he gives concrete details to…

government is the predator. The government has ammunition, in the form of information, that can take them down with one shot. The quote, “Defend press freedom” is used to convey that personal rights and press freedoms are under attack. The right of privacy is an example of one. The government is defending the bill by saying it’s being used to catch terrorists in the country, but the citizens are declaring it as a breach of the right of…
