For this blog I decided to use two straightforward news columns, two movie reviews, and two opinion editorials from different sources. While reading these different articles it became clear to me that all of the writers of the articles had one method in common; the use of reliable information to help their "case". Other than that, for each specific area of writing different methods were used:
1-3rd person for distance in fact based news stories and reviews
2-1st Person for opinion articles
3-Qualifiers
4-Knowledge of culture
The authors convinced me that they were well informed in all the different styles of writing because there were references to cultural facts that helped me understand, and to know that they are well-informed of the facts. The authors also convinced me of their good will in the news stories by stating the facts without outside opinion, in the movie reviews by stating what was thought of the movie and why, and in the opinion editorials by stating their opinions frankly while at the same time making the reader understand they are only opinions, even if they are well-informed opinions.
