Derek Hawkins Morning Mix Summary

425 Words2 Pages

In the article that Derek Hawkins wrote for the Washington post's Morning Mix, he wrote about an event that happened in Utah. What happened was a nurse got arrested because she would not let the police draw blood from an unconscious suspect. Hawkins states all of the facts and nothing more throughout his writing. Even though he does not make an argument or state his opinion in his writing, he does make a hint of his opinion through his title, “ ‘This is crazy’ sobs Utah hospital nurse as cop roughs her up, arrests her for doing her job.” He set up the reader on the side of the nurse before the reader even knows what happens. Also, he really emphasizes the points when the police officer is clearly wrong. For example, Hawkins ends the story

    As a journalist, Peterson’s job is to report the facts, not give his unsolicited opinion on the situation. This is also dangerous because, not only is he shaming the victim’s personal choice to remain silent but he is also forcing his own beliefs on readers who are simply trying to become more familiar with the scandal. By reading about his personal opinions within the article, Peterson demonstrates a lack of empathy for anyone who has dealt with sexual abuse and as a result, readers may find that his argument is unable to sound

    Using language that is both clear and engaging, draws the reader in with a rich story that is short but packed with so much information with Larson's vivid descriptions. Larson employs a significant amount of dialogue that brings the personalities of the characters to life and helps the reader grasp who they truly were and what their motivations are using primary sources such as letters, diaries, and newspaper articles which add a sense of authenticity and authority behind Larson's writing. One of the works that Larson works with is the memoir of H.H. Holmes, to truly gaze into the mind of a psychopath that shows the reader the length of what Holmes would go through to try and cover up his crimes but also how truly disconnected he was to the world around him once his caricature was blown to

An example for this is when Bud saying this: " Todd started huffing and puffing with his eyes bucking out of his head and his chest going up and down so hard that it looked like some kind of big animal was inside of him trying to bust out.".
