ReplyDeleteThis article talks about the UA Academy policy. UA aims at providing opportunity for current student to study abroad. And over 100 abroad-study programs will be added into summer semester. The author introduces this policy and totally agree it. What's more, he makes use of other people's sayings to reinforce his statement. It is rhetorical strategy of logos.
http://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/students-moving-abroad-to-study
When I finished reading the article that you choose, I find it is exactly as you wrote. The author use a lot of datas and examples to show studying abroad.
Deletewhich you chosen is interesting but the link was invalid ：）
DeleteI read what you commented about the UA trying to provide better opportunities of the students to study abroad and get the experience and education they need in a new environment. well done!
DeleteI read an article looks like to encourage student study abroad published by Terrie, but personally, I think this article’s purport is indistinct, because it also looks like a piece of news. Although, it gives specific data about the participant of former semester, and also a picture which is took when a student study abroad to shows the program is pretty welcome by student, and U of A has a great international circle to cooperate with other countries, but it doesn't give much detail or brief introduction about a specific program. If this is an article about encourage, students’ comment should be the most important part, because this is a program designed for student, students’ comment has more referenced value. And it shouldn't be a photo of only one person, but a photo took by a group of people study abroad together. Otherwise, this article should focus more on data report.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/students-moving-abroad-to-study
yes, you are right. It just a news to show that the UA joins the trend with the addition of new study abroad programs and welcome student to participant it.
DeleteNice Job,Man.
DeleteYes. That's the common mistakes about introducing study abroad program in U of A. Believe it or not, at the end of the article, it even talks about the enrollments of international students. For me, that's pretty wired and unacceptable. It supposes to be more focused on the program
Studying abroad is really a cool thing. More and more students will get benefit from this program
DeleteI agree with your arguement after I read the article you methon.Studying abroad is a challenge for students, we should think more aspects about it.
DeleteData really help an article persuade its audiences. Adding data report will make the article more logical and persuasive.
DeleteI agree with what you said. Studying abroad can be a great challenge for international students. The news should give more specific details about campus life to the audience.
DeleteDirect Action Everywhere, a animal rights group, descended upon Whole Foods Markets patrons on Speedway Boulevard this Saturday in protest of the mogul’s questionable practices. They claimed that they have evidence that Petaluma, Calif., egg supplier for the natural food supermarket was in violation of standards that legitimize certification regarding humane treatment of farm animals.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/protesters-egging-it-on-at-whole-foods
I think that the rhetorical strategy use by the author is Ethos, because he is trying to appeal to values and emotional sensibilities when he talks about animals, which is effective in certain cases.
DeleteGreat article and well done. People should pay more attention to their humanity instead of only profits. This article will lead people who have read to think the problem they are facing. Which is animal abuse.
DeleteI am a sports fanatic. Inarguably, the article discusses whether two 7-footers should be the starter in the following game based on advanced statistics. Honestly, I was shocked by the numbers. According to that, Ristic should replace the veteran center Tarczewski as the starter for Wildcats. In this scenario, back-up center Ristic appears to be more efficient when he was on the court, especially his ability to grab rebounds, points. As the article mentioned, 'tough to truly gauge a player’s importance or worth to a team without implementing advanced statistics'. We are capable of analyzing our athletes, not merely on eye test. From my perspective, that sort of analysis is the optimal way to evaluate the player. You will perceived by those visible stats rather watching on their performances.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/column-its-time-to-play-dusan-ristic-more
I find this article very interesting too. I think that the author of this articles uses two rhetorical strategies with the reader, Logos because he is trying to appeal to the reader's reason and convince them of something using Ethos, using credible information and numbers.
DeleteDusan was my summer school classmate, he puts a lot effort not only in class, but also in the field. For this page, as you said, if the author wants to sell Dusan, he should just ignore Tarczewski, focus more on Dusan’s physical argument instead of compare Dusan with Tarczewski. Make all eyes on Dusan.
DeleteThis article talks about an activity from Chipotle.The article says if you order any kind of food with a sofrita, you can get free burrito. The CEO of Chipotle says that he wants, to change people’s minds so that it encourages people to eat more tofu. In this article, the strategy of pathos, Is used because the title is “Buy sofrita, get free burrito”（Walker). It’s very convincing for people to notice the word “FREE”, because then the customer will read the details and know how can they get free burrito from Chipotle.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/buy-sofritas-get-free-burrito
I am interested in this article. Author proves his or her point by using University of Arizona student's experience.By the way, I know this guy. :)
DeleteAfter I read this article I think if some news about food related to “free” it definitely will catches people’s attention. That’s the point, that’s what people needs, free food. But I think the author can introduce more about the food not just the deal. Because after I read this, I’m Chinese I know tofu, but I’m sure not everyone knows tofu. If author provides a little more detail, let the audience know what kind of food is it, maybe will get more people go to Chipotle.
DeleteChipotle is more than enough to catch my interest, and whats even better, is that i can get a free burrito if i just add sofrita to my meal!! it sure did encourage me to eat more tofu!
DeleteVery interesting. It 's a good commercial to attract people's attention. "FREE" really stands out.
DeleteIm really interested in this, cause burrito is one of my favorite food. The word "free" always can attract people's eyes. I'll probably go to CHipotle to get some tofu for the free burrito.
DeleteI read the article named “Student moving abroad to study”, in this article Terrie Brianna talks about how the number of students abroad increased in this last year and all the benefits that an experience like this has in a resume. It is very interesting for me that the second smallest international group was the one from Mexico even when it is the neighbor country. The author use the rhetorical strategy ETHOS because her article is based on the credibility of the people she is quoting like an international consultancy, and in all the data she is using. I think that the use of that rhetorical strategy is very useful because it makes the article interesting.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/students-moving-abroad-to-study
Well. I am not quiet agree with what you said. In fact, the author indeed presents some data about the benefits for study abroad program. However, I think there are still some flaws in it. Like I said, the writer should provide more details about program.
DeleteI agree with you, it's based on ethos and logos. The author using lots of data to prove what she want us to know, and also, he used Logos to make the line more clearer
DeleteThe picture grabbed my attention when I was search for an article to write about. I think the author should describe more about study aboard and how it had effected her after she came back to the U.S.
DeleteI read this article too. Author uses some students’ personal experiences to mention that study abroad has many benefits. And use number to show the international students increase.
Deletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2013/11/navajo-proposed-junk-food-tax-can-be-example-in-right-direction ...This article mainly talks about a proposal of increasing 2 percent sales tax on junk food purchased in the Navajo Nation. What's more, the raised founds will be used for building infrastructure related to health improvement. The author uses some sets of data to inform us that obesity is really an inevitable problem nowadays in US. By taking measures like this, maybe people will cut down the amount of money they spend on junk food. The author also cites comments from authorities to emphasize the importance of facing this concern about obesity. At the end of the article, a college student voices her opinion that this " increasing in sales tax is necessary in decreasing this amount of money people spend on buying junk food.

ReplyDeleteThis article is about the men's golf competition of Arizona. The title is just the bigger character, it is not pretty obviously. However, it also shows that the sports competitions winning have been normal for University of Arizona. Moreover, author described the whole story by normal tone which presents that is important to get a champion, but enjoy the competition is more important! Even though I am not a fan of golf, I am still attracted by this article.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/mens-golf-finishes-arizona-international-tournament-in-seventh-place
interesting but I dont like golf :)
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI really no idea why people love this competition, but congratulation to UOA
DeleteWow! I do feel deeply the charm of golf! Also, I have the same to your feeling-- winning the game is very important, but the more important still is enjoying this wonderful experience!
DeleteThe process of competition is more important than triumph.
DeleteThere is no doubt that for competition game,the most important thing is enjoyable. And for me, I will try to like this game

ReplyDeleteThe article I have read called"Work at the Daily Wildcat".Actually this article is like a official notification.Reader will feel comfortable to read the whole article because this article is short. But the article is also obviously because it includes some information for someone who needs a part-time job.This article give us lots of contact information about how to different kinds of part-time jobs' content email.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the article is very useful as it presents the key message of the article clearly to its audience. Readers can easily understand the point of the article and they will also have the sense of being attracted to wanting to work in the UA even more especially after the article mentions some offers to anybody that signs up.
Deletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/black-life-matters-conference-attracts-large-crowds
ReplyDeletethe racial problem was always one of the most important problem in America. this news talk about the Black LIfe Matters Conference was held at the UA last week which aim to solve the Global Blackness, sexuality, criminalizing black lives, violence in black women's lives and immigration. this conference hopes to impact some communities locally and nationally.
As a foreign student in US, I even cannot feel about the racial problem. Which means US government has given actions to deal with that kind of problems. So I do not think that problem could bother people again in the future.
DeleteHope the whole world is peaceful.
DeleteAfter reading the article, i believe it is absolutely a great conference which i wish i could have attended. Racial problem cannot be solved unless people cares more about it. Besides other people cares about the issue, the people belongs to the same race should also be standing out and try to change other people's way of thinking towards the racial problem by shouting out their voice.
DeleteI read an article called Reusable food order forms can help reduce waste. Just as its name implies that we can use a special form that called reusable laminated order forms to reduce paper waste. Because ordering forms that in the restaurants always need to waste thousands of papers per day. This is such a terrible way for us to make our life becomes more environmentally friendly. So, we have to use a new positive way to reduce the paper use. Although this kind of form has an obvious disadvantage—it is hard for merchant to regain the reusable form from the customers during the busy time, in the slower time, this way still plays a vital role in preventing waste.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2013/11/reusable-food-order-forms-help-eliminate-unnecessary-waste
What a nice article! Protecting our environment is pretty important today! So the idea of this article is wonderful, and it is also a warning for people.
DeleteThis article says Law program shows decrease in enrollment. Put simply, in this article the author points out recently American law schools face a dramatic drop in applications nationwide. Law school population reduce from 100，000 a year to 50，000. so all most of law schools choose increasing the number of international students. so in my viewpoint, this article want to let people to consider law as major. in this article the most important is a lot of data. obviously， It is rhetorical strategy of logos.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/law-program-shows-decrease-in-enrollment
Using rhetorical strategy of logos to illustrate the problem of law school, it could make the information to be more impressive. Smart author! And good job you found it!
DeleteWell done on analyze this article, the data is intuitional and forward. You also have paid attention to the details of this article. Which is the data,too.
DeleteI have found an article that says both aboard student related the U of A and international students on U of A have both increased on numbers last few years. I think this is a really interesting and good fact, because students who study overseas can promote the relationship between countries. Because young teenagers are opening mind and they are also the future of their country. Hopefully they will remove the misunderstanding between counties and bring home some ideas of other country, every country has its own advantages and disadvantages.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/students-moving-abroad-to-study
As a International student, I can't deny that I actually find that people in other countries are not as same as I used imagined. It really help the young generation's growth globally.
DeleteIt's always good to trip around more places, place ourselves into a different environments. Just like studying aboard will enhance our communication skills, the capability of quickly adapting the new environment and so on. So i agree this article is convincing and i am convinced to try to study at more places in stead of staying in one place.
DeleteI like this article just because I'm an international student. I completely with my friend Yukai. It's great that many students from overseas get their experience somewhere else rather than in their own country. By being in an environment different from where you are from really helps you see and learn different problems from many different perspectives. Since people from all the over the world think differently, maybe because of their traditional lives, or their habits, or even behaviors. By having students from all over the world come together, thinks helps us gain new and fresh ideas that we had never thought of ever in a million years. So, that's that.
Deletethe article i read was about UAPD, one of the head of the department was being asked questions on the security of the UA. the app that he mentioned was the most interesting thing. this is the most ideal program to do in cases of emergencies. the features of the app is what's exciting me to download the app when they release it. i guess it will make me feel more safe once i download it.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/community-chatter-january-28-2015
Agreed, security is always what our parents worry about as we are International Students.
DeleteI remember last semester there was a robbery near student union, UA alert did a great job notifying the students on campus to stay away from that area until the area is safe. The app is a great idea because now almost everyone has a smart phone, this way the message can be spread even fast.
DeleteFor everyone, safety is the most important thing, especially for students. We are international students, and parents are concerned about our safety in the United States. So the generation of the software, it make my heart comfortable a lot.
DeleteCan't agree more. Security is most important thing for international student in U.S.
DeleteSounds great. I mean having an app in the phone helps us all feel a bit safer as we can immediately be updated with important news happening around it. This is probably very effective way of enhancing the security of UA. It doesn't completely keep you safe but it helps reduce the risk of any danger.
DeleteThe report "Alum raises money to make feature film" is basically a short introduction about an independent film named "Paper Cuts". This film is generally using a story of a girl's memory of her teenage years, which base on the real experience of Kelli Horan (the film maker) herself. Also, this article mention this film is not yet produced because of the lack of financial aid. She wish people who have the same feeling as her or want to use movie to talk about teenage issue seriously can fund her movie. The most effective words in this article is "If you have a story to tell and you have a passion for it, just do it." from Horan's advice for her current film student. I agree with her opinion. As a teenager, if we don't have our passion to show people our story, when can we have the chance again? Personally, I am really looking forward to this film.

"Low gas prices fuel economic concerns" discuessed about the concerns that different people have on this issue. Of course, some people think is a good thing but the rest don't. For those people who commute to work, the dropping price of gasoline helps them to have spare money to import their daily meal. However, the economic expert hold different point of view. They think the oil price has only $17 space to drop by not causing the global economic recession. This article is considered pretty convincible.First reason, the article is using a lot of words that's from experts' mouths. Second, even some words are not from experts in economic field, the words are from people who are experiencing the oil change themselves which the words can be considered real and true. Here it is using the ethos(:credibility) to enhance the convincibility of the ariticle.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/low-gas-prices-fuel-economic-concerns
Gas prices down for consumers are good thing, but for the world is a recession.
DeleteThe article that I read was 'Phantom' celebrates fortuitous history. This article was talking about the history of "The Phantom of the Opera", the contents of this article were such boring. I still want to choose this article, because I was attracted by the title and the poster. The title was "Phantom' celebrates fortuitous history" and the poster was delineating a person looks like vampire,author used the logo rhetorical strategy to catch readers' attention. It is a good example of rhetorical strategy.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/phantom-celebrates-fortuitous-history
I agree with you, the word Phantom is influential, but keep away of reading something boring.
DeleteI article that I choose is from the Opinion page called Navajo junk food tax can serve as positive example. A proposal for a 2% sales tax increase on junk food purchased int he Navajo Nation is currently heading to the Navajo Nation Council for consideration. The article used a lot of numbers and data to emphasis on the serious issue of obesity in the native americans society. For example, The office of Minority Health reported that Native Americans and Alaskan natives are 60% more likely to be obese than other race. Since the Navajo Nation stretches about 27,000 square miles throughout eastern Arizona, Utah and New Mexico, we should really pay attention to the people around us, to build a health environment. The 2% raise of sales tax could really help in educating people about eating habits and build more recreations, parks and exercising spaces for everyone to enjoy. 2% is not a dramatic change, but it can still make people think before they purchase unhealthy food.

After I read this article, the article talk about low gas prices fuel economic concerns. Tucson local price is about $1.81 a gallon of gas. Senior oil analyst said, drivers should not expect gasoline would be the price, because we are close to the summer. It will be affected by seasonal gasoline. In addition, although the drivers can buy the cheap petrol, economists worried that will affect the sales of natural gas. According to the latest survey, the global recession is inevitable. Based on the above analysis and the analysis of the economist, the price of oil would also reduce the, is a very good news for the driver, because oil prices cheaper. And for the world, is a kind of economic recession.

ReplyDeleteI read a article named "STUDENT MOVING ABROAD TO STUDY". It talked about U of A had much more international study program in many countries. There were a lot of students go abroad to study and also many international students study in U of A. the author use some examples to tell readers that study abroad have many benefits.And he uses some numbers to mention that U of A's international students' population has increased.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/students-moving-abroad-to-study
University of Arizona is a great place to study, but the science here is so difficult.
DeleteI liked this article, like many people know by now I studied abroad last year in Italy. I think those are great opportunities to learn about different cultures in the world. Personally I have seen how the program i choose has been growing over the time and I think this is amazing because this is telling us that students at the U of A are more encouraged to take risks and go abroad on adventures.
DeleteNot only the population of international student, but also the tuition keep increasing. Study aboard is not a cheap program, which means it limits lots of people to get in. I hope UA could consider about this.
DeleteThe University green fund program received a budget come directly out of student tuition from the committee this year. Many projects are benefited from the green fund project and finally students can get benefits from the program. Greening the game is one of the project that currently funded by the university’s green fund program. Greening the game tried to “green” the athletic game like recycle the waste material in the stadium and it really see a lot of success. The green fund now grows rapidly as many students get involved and work for it. The sustainability of UA campus can actually realized and improved by our joint efforts without an end.

ReplyDeleteThis article tells us that a non-UA-affiliated individual was arrested because he has found to two marijuana pipes, marijuana and stolen credit cards. Two of a ridiculous reason makes everyone know the individual’s lie easily although the article doesn’t point out the reason definitely why he has been search. Such rhetorical strategy is more active and powerful.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/police-beat-january-20-2015
This is a very interesting article, however I think is kind of concerning how all these things happen so close to campus. Gratefully the police is taking care of these problemas and making campus a safer place for students.
Deletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2015/01/students-collaborate-to-create-play
ReplyDeleteThe article mainly talk about a stage play which directed by three UA students called "These Watches Can’t Tell Time". The whole news uses the form of interview in order to know the thoughts or experience of these three talent students. The wildcat also ask them about the content of the play and what inspired this play to perform. Also, it also mentions about the cooperation between three students when they created the original stage play. There are two rhetorical strategies has been used in this article. Firstly, the Pathos, which introducing the feeling of these three students' experience during their creation to the audience by asking "What inspired These Watches Can’t Tell Time"; Secondly, Ethos, which let the main three creator of this stage play to speak with Wildcat reporter in order to show the process of making a wonderful play with each other, this also includes the relationship between three students during the play directing.
I’m on diet now, so this article draws my attention. The article talks about health and sport. The writer is clever by making title is a question, to hook the reader like what happened to me. I think the author wants to show that exercising and build muscles could change the way of human life, and the best is to start early before the time runs out. This article is interesting because the writer put important facts and pictures in his post to make it beneficial and interesting. Also the article could be motivated to people who don’t like sport. The writer style and strategies were affected be cause he used logos and pathos.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/page/sponsored?prx_t=UKUBAACkCAJx8LA
I agree with my bro, Mohammad. People that are looking to changing their diet should or at least take a peak into reading this article as it will help give you some motivation into changing your life for the better. Changing your daily lifestyle might be the hardest thing to do in life as it takes tooooo many things to give up like all those thousands of calories. If you want to achieve what you want to be in the near future, you must be willing to sacrifice. So, surely with every difficulty there is relief. Surely, with every difficulty there is relief. Therefore, when you are free, continue in your hard work.
Delete"Lightning Research Strikes UA Professors as Incomplete"
ReplyDeleteSimilarly to many other articles in the science category, I read about an article focusing more on researches about lighting. Numerous researchers had been studying about this fascinating and interesting phenomena such as David Romps and his team. Their main objective is to come up with a model that can somehow predict the number of lightings occuring in the United States. Some had said that there are more lightings every decade and some says that it lessens. Nobody can point fingers and say that person is wrong sine this is on a hypothesis rather than a fact. No one can predict the future, right??? Making this model needs to be take into account multiples of different factors. We are not talking just climates and temperature, but also the environment, human activities, and so forth. What the researchers had realized that making a model like this is a complex job to achieve and their limit is to only be able to get close to the right prediction and not know exactly what will happen. We all know nobody can read the future except God. Anyways, The link to the article is below so click it:

Adriana Espinosa recently published this article in the daily wildcat webpage. I think it is really sad and concerning the situations and amount of reports of students drinking and doing drugs on campus. Because of these substances, they put themselves in really stupid situations where their physical integrity is in danger. MIPs and paraphernalia charges are becoming something common in this school. I really hope students were able to fix this issue and think about their safety.

The article I chose is about the annual Chinese New Year festival held by Confucius Institute on this Saturday at UA. There will be lots of performances about Chinese culture for over 2000 audience at centennial hall. The author said this show will be larger and include many new performances to attract people to attend the show. I think it works, because there are still a lot of people interest in Chinese culture.

ReplyDeleteI read an article is about Hazardous waste risk, and how properly by UA. This article attracts me, because this article has a relationship with public health. In the modern society, Hazardous waste risk treatment to people, and people always want to know some organizations how to transact it. In the article professionals use difference way to translate difference Hazardous waste, like some biological waste will be incinerated, and use an autoclave to increase press to kill biological waste, and for the most part, waste is stored in a secure facility, until it doesn’t have treated to people. http://www.wildcat.arizona.edu/article/2014/11/hazardous-waste-risky-handled-properly-by-ua
ReplyDeleteI read an article called "Shocking Waste of 72 million Tons of Food." I was actually shocked by the amount of food that had been wasted by peple all over the world. It's abbout a third of what people eat go to waste. Researchers said that this mass amount of waste can feed about 870 million hungry people in the world. However, people decide to throw it in the trash or let it go wasted. When it is wasted, it goes to a disposal area where methane is emitted which is one of the cause of the climate change and greenhouse gas. therefore, it is important the everyone of us spend on food that is just enough for us or cook food just enough for us to eat instead of having leftovers all the time that ends up going into the trash can. If there are leftovers or you think that you can't finish your meal, it would be best of you donate the food to the poor hungry people and at least find these poor people to feed. Everybody deserve to live one more day. You are not the only one that wants to live. "You should live simpler so that others can simply live"
