Arriero, Elisabeth. “Student, 16, is shot, wounded at Salisbury High” 11 Feb. 2014: CharoletteObserver. Web. 11 Feb. 2014. <http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/02/10/4681404/one-student-shot-in-salisbury.html>
A Rowan county teen was shot at Salisbury High School on Monday. The victim was a freshman at Saildbury High. The believed cause for the shooting was from a dispute that happened the weekend before. The suspects were not students at the school. One of the suspects are now in custody and the police are searching for the other.
This article relates to an English class I took. We talked about violence in people during that class. I feel like this is a terrible event. It is sad that people will try to kill someone just from an altercation. Something very similar to this happened to my dads best friend, so I feel negatively about this.
What is the impact of using Facts
The impact of using just facts in this article is negative. Due to the lack of emotion in this article it is hard to get feelings from it. The author portrays this event as an everyday thing. The author said "A Rowan County teenager is in jail after a student was shot on the Salisbury High School campus."(Arriero). The author blankly states that a Rowan County teenager was jailed without any emotion. "The victim, ninth-grader Shaleek Williams, 16, was treated at a local hospital and released hours later."(Arriero) the author tells how the victim is shot, then treated, then released without any emotion. The impact of using just facts makes it very hard to connect to the story.
