http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/05/world/asia/pakistan-malala-apology/index.html?npt=NP1

This article is about Malala Yousufzai, a Pakistani teenager who was shot in the head and neck by Taliban terrorists for fighting for a right to an education. The author, Aamir Iqbal, starts the article by stating that the sister of the man suspected of attempting to kill Malala apologized to the girl saying, "He has brought shame on our family. We have lost everything after what he did.". He then goes on to give background information on the events leading up to the apology, describing Malala's battle for education, the Taliban's terrifying assault of her and 2 other girls on a school van, and the actions of Pakistani police following the incident as they searched for the shooter. He ends the article by saying Malala is quickly recovering in a hospital in England and that Pakistani officials have promised that they will defend Malala from the Taliban if she decides to return to Pakistan. The author uses pathos by continually referring back to Malala's young age and including a picture of her in a hospital bed weakly staring at a camera. He uses logos by citing the facts surrounding the shooting in the article. The organization of the article is interesting is that he starts with the sister of the shooter(who's apology the article is centered on), but ends with Malala; This technique establishes her as the most important and as the lasting thought he wants to leave with his audience.
