Finding an opinion piece

When searching for an opinion piece for this paper, it was difficult for me. I rarely read articles unless I am interested in the topic. Many of the articles I came across had to do with Politics. I'm not a big fan of political issues because I don't understand them too well and they don't interest me. What grabs me into reading an article is if I can relate to the issue with my personal experiences or life. Another thing that grabs my attention is if the topic is being talked about a lot or if it affects people and is a serious issue. Big issues usually make me want to read them and understand why they are happening and what needs to be done with the issue. The rhetorical strategies that usually make me keep reading an article is the use of pathos, logos and kiaros. Having these in the article make the article come to life and it makes me realize that these issues are actually happening. Using statistics helps make the matter more real and draws my attetntion more. I have always been horrible with reading, so an article that draws my attention is if it is in closed form. It helps me be able to comprehend the issue and follow all the different points the author is trying to express. I am therefore better able to respond to the article with my own opinion. The piece that I chose has to do with the unemployment and it drew my interest because it is an issue in the world today that is affecting many people. I hope I am able to understand and create my response to this article.
