Look at what words create the author’s emotion towards his/her topic.
The author’s emotion toward the subject is displayed rather quickly as they start with a “quiz” asking “Which country was the first in the world to ban government discrimination against gays in its constitution? A) Norway B) New Zealand C) South Africa Answer: It’s the so-called s-hole country, South Africa. It also bans discrimination based on gender and disability.” It is easy to see the author like most disapprove of the statement made by the president. With each fact about the African countries that are outdoing the united states, it is like a hammer of emotion into your conscience counteracting your previous bias’. The author’s tone is candid, facetious, factual, incisive when speaking about the African countries doing well whilst being contemptuous when talking about Trump's comment. The author appealed to the rhetorical device of pathos specifically to drive their point home. People of the LGBTQA+ community connected with the fact with South Africa's constitution not allowing for discrimination based on gender, sexuality, or disability much earlier and stricter than America's. Future Mothers and women, in general, connect with the fact that Sierra Leone is committed to providing free health care to children under 5 and pregnant women (prenatal care and deliveries) and how Rwanda eliminated cervical cancer much earlier than u.s. scientists. Any American sees the joke made at Trump's expense about Botswana asking the U.S to clarify if they were a s*hole or not without bluster, military threats, or no rude tweets. The author’s goal was to disprove trump's statement that African countries were s*holes to those who believed it or those who have bias’ already. The author packed his argument well and full. He used 12 facts to bring home a conclusion that We Can Learn From ‘S-Hole Countries’
