I chose to analyze the article A's plans for Fremont stadium appear headed for doom because the title drew my attention. First of all, I think the word "doom" in the title poses as a very good example of the rhetorical device of ethos. It makes me think that he topic is very important and that it could be something that affects me. The article itself is about how the Oakland Athletics are planning to move to Fremont. The reality is that the plan will most likely not go into effect because the team and management are still unsure of what site to build a new stadium. San Jose Councilman Liccardo noted that "there were obstacles to be addressed before San Jose could become a candidate city for the new stadium project." Although throughout the article he seems very optimistic about having the Athletics come to San Jose, he provides the pros and cons that support the idea for the team moving. From what I see it, I agree with this article because it is successful in informing me, the reader, by using ethos and logos. (The article contains logos because of the facts and the beliefs.) I also think that it would be very convenient to have a major baseball team closer to where I live and go to school. Go A's!

I think it is a horrible idea to move the A's to Fremont. It would take a lot of money to build a new stadium and have the city get used to it. They should worry more about the team and not about moving into a new city.
ReplyDeleteExcellent analysis of this article... I actually almost wrote about the same thing. I like how you go into ethos and logos, that's way deeper than I ever even try to go. You seem to have gotten the same thing out of the article as I did. There are definitely no set plans but the possibility of the A's coming to san jose is a real one. And although I'm a Giants fan, I would love to be able to conveniently attend a baseball game close to home.
