This article, composed by Steve Osunsami and Alexis Shaw tells the story of an unwanted baby abandoned in Texas. The authors use logos, providing specific details such as the weight of the baby: "just four pounds when she was found by a woman walking her dog near the apartment complex" where baby Chloe was left. The authors use more logos, providing solid facts about the use of the baby's early tooth in the investigation, such as the fact that in "one of 2,000 births" the baby is born with a tooth, "a unique genetic trait that may prove to be a link to her family history." According to the article, investigators plan to trace the parents of the abandoned baby. Many of the investigators have fallen in love with baby Chloe's "ready smile" and desire to catch them and "charge them" for leaving the baby to die when "Texas has an infant safe haven law, which allows mothers to anonymously give up their babies to designated locations where they can receive care until they are placed in a permanent home." The authors appeal to logos, including a warm statement from sketch artist Lori Gibson that "The people would recognize that smile." Gibson obviously was drawn to the adorable baby just like many of the cops. The authors did a good job in ensuring that readers can feel the love surrounding this baby while reading the article. They use pathos again by including pictures of the baby's smile, and another kind statement ensuring the audience that the baby will find a loving home because "There is no shortage of people who want her." Concluding with this statement was the perfect way to end this heart warming article.
