Chapter 13
This chapter was about opinion and editorial pieces. As I was reading, the text described that these types of pieces are suppose to appeal to the reader. They talk about how editorial pieces are about what we believe and what we believe. As I read that sentence, churches was brought up in my head. The text explains how these pieces appeal to our emotions and our intellects. In a church, the preacher appeals the crowd by preaching the word of the lord. The people of the church are touched emotionally, mentally, and physically. In my opinion, that kind of relates to editorial and opinion pieces. You are supposed to build a connection with the reader and have them interested in your writing. You have to attract their attention and connect to their emotions. The text also explains the persuasion of the text. To have a good opinion or editorial piece, you have to persuade the reader. You have to induce the reader by appealing to understand your topic. It is the same thing in the church. The word of the lord has many rights and wrongs and the people have an understanding with it. That is what I thought about as I read chapter 13.

Nicely written Ken! I agree with what you said above and I definitely think your example was a great example as well. Everyone has an opinion and we all have a right to say how we feel but to a certain extent. Our opinions are suppose to capture the readers attention but in a good way and not an offensive way.Readers have a right to agree or disagree with the writer and so do people who attend church. Not everyone who attends church has to agree with th pastor but they can take in the information. It is hard to take in information when you do not agree with it but at the same time people have the right to state their opinion
