The authors are invested in the cause. They emulate the fight for gun reforms and side with the student activists like David Hogg, Emma Gonzalez, and Delaney Tarr. The authors emotional attachment is invested through there words you can feel the swell of pride as they talk about the “crowd that filled blocks of Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and Capital Hill. Thousands more rallied at about 800 “sibling” marches around the country and abroad where students made eloquent calls for gun control.” The authors used words like filled blocks, seas of people, soaring speeches, emotional chants. To convey their stances and tones about the subject. The authors utilize the rhetorical device of pathos to add to their piece. The signs held by marchers with phrase like: Graduations, not funerals!,I should be learning, not protesting, Fear has no place in our schools, If "con" is the opposite of pro, then isn't Congress the opposite of progress?. All the signs stir up most people's inner cry for justice and change. The authors used an excerpt from Delaney Tarr’s speech ““Today, We march,We fight. We roar. We prepare our signs. We raise them high. We know what we want, we know how to get it and we are not waiting anymore.” The rallying cry presented by Mrs.Tarr emboldens those in support of the movement and presents a talking point to those who don’t. The purpose/goal of this article was the inform and extend information across a major news network as you can’t have a movement without staying in the news stream. The authors collaborated to organize all of their thoughts and personal styles into one coherent article. They open with the defiant message delivered by the speakers in front of vast crowds across the USA and abroad “that they are done hiding from gun violence and will stop at nothing to get politicians to finally prevent it.” The authors move into the description of the march then the masses of those gathered in the name of #MarchForOurLives. They close with the celebrities who came out to support and the quoted by Delaney Tarr, “Today, We march, We fight. We roar. We prepare our signs. We raise them high. We know what we want, we know how to get it and we are not waiting anymore.”
