The most hated topic to talk about in the United States. Something that is an amendment to us,
but people do not want to talk about because it always starts an argument worldwide. As Ivin´s
open her story, the first thing she talks about how guns are everywhere; however; you do not see
people running around trying to stab each other with a knife. As reading this paper you will see
examples of the logos, pathos, and ethos a how they affect the article.
Logos is a huge play in this article. Logos are used in a way for the reader to be
persuaded that something is proven. Now, Ivins is trying to prove that guns are not a bad thing,
but also they are. They are not being used as they should be. They are being used to kill people,
to rob and threaten people live. Ivin has a sense of humor where she sees the good and bad. As
you read, she protrudes that, although; it is probably a great idea of owning a gun, everyone
should not be used for the purposes of evil or bad. Like why should a fourteen-year-old boy have
a gun? In today's world, the second amendment is not taken seriously. In all honesty, the second
amendment is not written for the generation that we are in. Ivins is trying to point out that
although we have a right to bear arms; we do not have the right to use the guns negatively.
Also, Ivins uses pathos in this article. Pathos is a way of getting a point across while
using emotions. worldwide She uses humor, sarcasm, and many other emotions in this article.
Especially when she talks about having to get a knife or a dog to protect yourself. It seems crazy,
but then again who knows maybe one of them are better than having a gun around the house. A
gun in my eyes is a good, but also a bad thing to have these days.
Another great way Ivins gets her point across is by using ethos. Ethos means that you are
trying to convince the audience that they are a credible source. Ivins portray Ethos in this piece
using the Second Amendment and referring to Thomas Jefferson wishes. She puts the Second
Amendment directly into the story and it says: "A well-regulated militia is needed to the security
of a free state; the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Also, Ivins
states Jefferson wishes and talks about teenage drug dealers. She refers back to a Famous
president and an Amendment. This shows that Ivins is a credible person; her work can be trusted,
Most Ivins, she uses positive connotation. She does not use any really big words. The
words she uses are more so words that higher up high school students should know. As she
arranges this paper is in a way that is easy to read and easy to understand. She does not skip
around and she does not go from one thing to another. Ivins stay on what she is talking about and
has her words and layouts together. She did a really good job on having a positive impact and a
positive outlook on what she is arguing about. Overall, Ivins did an amazing job and the article
was very interesting to read and gave me more insight on how other people feel about gun rights.
