I read an article about a revised trade deal between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, also known as Nafta. The article was written by Ana Swanson and Katie Rogers. In the article President Trump said that with the revised plan Nafta will now be known as the United States and Mexico trade agreement to try and get the Canadians more motivated to strike a more United States friendly deal. President Trump has said many times that he is not a supporter of the trade agreement as he has said it is the worst trade agreement in United States history. With the new deal it is intended to bring more car manufacturing to the United States from Mexico. To qualify for zero tariffs under Nafta, car companies would be required to manufacture at least 75 percent of an automobile’s value in North America under the new rules, up from 62.5 percent previously. They will also be required to use more local steel, aluminum and auto parts, and have 40 percent to 45 percent of the car made by workers earning at least $16 an hour, a benefit to both the United States and Canada. I personally like what President Trump is doing because it is not fair for Americans to pay higher tariffs than the Canadians are making us pay. This will be able to produce more jobs for America and boost the economy. I believe this is a very well written article. The article was very well written and provided many details about the new revised plan that should benefit the United States. The authors also did a very good job at not showing any of their personal bias’ as it was hard to tell if he was a republican or democrat. The article talked just about the facts and stayed away from personal opinions. The authors used logos heavily and rarely used pathos or logos.

The article I choose was posted by NBC news which is directed by Noah Oppenheim. On the NBC news website their claim to their audience is that they intend to satisfy all audiences. Although, I believe that while reading their article they have a drive towards supporting environmental awareness. The tone in the article felt as if they were almost agreeing with the lawyers and other people behind the movement of wanting cigarette butts banned. In the article "Plastic Straw ban? Cigarette butts are the single greatest source of ocean trash" there is a great amount of information supporting the facts behind cigarettes being the greatest source of trash in the ocean. The article talks about all the efforts behind trying to band cigarette butt filters and to the extend of even trying to band cigarettes. It really emphasis how people are the problem because research shows that people believe it is a tradition to just throw their cigarette butts anywhere they wish weather it be the...
