After analyzing the three opinion editorials I found the wrestling editorial to be the most interesting and persuasive. From the triangles we created, I found the authors purpose to be to convince the audience that weight loss tactics in wrestling are dangerous and life threatening and she be better regulated by the NCAA. Also, the author was a former college wrestler and so that held great ethos with his argument. Pathos was surely felt by the readers through the stories of the deaths of the college wrestlers and his own experiences through wrestling.
The opinion editorial "Kiss-less campus" was my least favorite of the articles. The young freshman student had a very condescending opinion for being so, as she claimed, unexperienced when it comes to relationships. Her lack of ethos created less credibility to her argument and therefore lacked persuasion. Although many people experience PDA and have varying opinions, her argument did not persuade me to side with her.
