Fears for Australia boy missing after crocodile attack

                        In Australia, a boy was allegedly dragged by a crocodile into deep waters, and he is now missing. A similar attack happened recently in the same area to a young girl, who's body parts were later found in the stomach of one of these crocodiles. The article begins by speaking about the boy being dragged away while others attempted to help by spearing the crocodile. It then immediately goes into talking about the girl who also was attacked. This appeal to pathos, by making the reader interested. The audience begins to believe that northern Australia truly has frequent crocodile attacks, and they should be on the look out. The author establishes his logos, through the same structure by claiming that the area is dangerous, however they seem to exaggerate a bit. One cannot assume the danger of the area simply from two attacks, but the author makes the article intriguing by making it seem like a warning even slightly more so than an article.
