I specifically liked this piece because it had to do with a topic that I care about which is pro-gun control, I also chose it because it seemed intriguing in the way that the author makes the claim about Nancy Pelosi not fighting enough for the restriction of guns. The writer, Ladd Everitt did a good job at convincing the reader that the Democrats were failing to progress with gun control. To make this piece better the writer could’ve given more in depth examples of how the Democrats have attempted and failed in previous years to restrict guns before all the mass shootings. The voice in this piece is very pessimistic because the author is saying Nancy Pelosi is doing a horrible job as a Democratic and he gives off a vibe as if gun control will never get solved. What makes this piece unique compared to others is that the author is a pro-gun control activist and we can only assume he has Democratic views so he is bashing Nancy Pelosi for not fighting for this cause, this to me proves that he isn’t biased because he will speak his voice for what he believes in even if it means going against his own political party.
I chose this piece because the topic on immigration is a very important topic to me and right now the U.S. is trying to figure out what to do with the caravan. To support their opinion The Editorial Board , USA TODAY has provided their claim saying that the anti-trafficking law helps fuel caravan and has also included the opposing view. To make their point better the writer could’ve extended on how the U.S. needs to solve this problem effectively without harming anyone. The voice in this piece is very critical because it’s a tense and very controversial situation. What I think makes this piece unique is that it includes an opposing view so that the reader can get both sides of the story and be more informed on the caravan and how the Trump administration is deciding to handle it.
