The third blog post is about the increasing amount of threat North Korean missile tests bring, www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-42160227 . The author's diction makes it seem like he is worried about the situation. They emphatically make "A problem without a solution" a sub title and write about what that means. The author appeals to pathos. They do this by writing about "the problem without a solution" and go into detail about all the different tests with missiles they have previously done. This scares the readers because we are at risk of getting struck by one of these missiles. They also talk about how North Korea is trying to build long range missiles that could reach mainland U.S.: "The North is thought to be focusing efforts on building long-range missiles with the potential of reaching the mainland continental US". The authors tone/attitude is very concerning and worried like the diction. They do this because besides the fact that they may actually be worried, it also brings attention to it. It also could be to put pressure the U.S. government to do something, but not something dumb to where we get bombed. The author's purpose is to let the public know about what is happening with the ongoing North Korea threat. Also for the tone/attitude, they could be pressuring the government to act and not just sit back or to urge them not to do something North Korea does not like.
