Opinion Column and Editorial Blog

How has the text borrowed from other texts, and with what effects?

This opinion column come from the Ringer and it is about the best performing NFL player on the worst football team. The column extracts a variety of different statistics in order to make an argument for each NFL player being the best performer on his football team. Furthermore the personal statements used about the performance of the player shows the personal biased the author but it is eliminated by the statistics given because statistics aren't biased.

How and why is a social group represented in a particular way?

This editorial, comes from fox news and it is about migrants trying to pass the border to go to California from Mexico illegally. This story portrays the migrants as animals trying to find salvation and President Trump stated that the Border Patrol would not going to put up with this kind of behavior. Furthermore US authorities would arrest anyone who would pass illegally the border. This portrays the Mexican immigrants who are trying to find a new home, full of opportunities as enemies of the state and a threat to Americans. This is happening because the President is trying to enforce the rule that if anyone tries to pass the border illegally they would be imprisoned if caught in order to not make this phenomenon a norm
