Just a Thesis

By using relevant outside forms of rhetoric, diction, and vivid imagery to create a sense of obligation, the Los Angeles Times effectively convinces fliers that resistance to using the new full-body scanners is foolish in their article "Shut Up and be Scanned".

  1. Great topic! I think it's ridiculous how scanning has become such a big deal to people, I'm sure it's a great article to work with.

  3. Scanning seems to cause such a stir... and it really is for our own safety! Good find on the blog and can't wait to read it.

  4. I really like the article you picked and your thesis is really good as well. It makes the people who are making a big deal about it seem foolish and has a lot of good facts with it as well.

  5. Seth, it really does cause a much bigger problem than it should and that's why this article is so good. Thanks for the support!
    Katelynn, I'm glad that was the impression it made and thank you for the comments!
