This article by Zach Bowin details a car chase with a twisted ending. Bowin heavily appeals to logos including specific details about the incident. A seven year old boy, in an effort to avoid going to church with his family, "pilfered his dad's keys". Bowin states tht the cops followed the car back to a house where the young boy got out of the car and "ran into his father's house." He appeals to logos here, and then again, even including the type of car the boy was in. It was a "white Dodge Intrepid". Bowin appeals to pathos, making jokes about the story, by questioning: "Standard fare, you say? Not quite." Though a serious, and possibly dangerous story, with the young boy home safe the author is able to see the humor in the situation. Bowin appeals to pathos once again making sure to include that the young boy will not be disciplined in front of the law but left to be reprimanded by his parents. This detail makes the readers feel more at ease with the story because the young boy not only made it home safely but also managed to haggle himself out of serious trouble. He's just another honry little boy, unintentionally causing trouble. If you ask me, this young man was quite ingenious. I think Bowin would agree with my statement, as he made sure to include that the 7 year old drove quite well in fact, keeping control of the car with te exception of running one stop sign. Quite impressive. Bowin raps up the article with an allusion to a fan favorite movie, Talladega Nights, Ricky Bobby: "As Ricky Bobby would say, 'I wanna go fast.'" This quote ended the article on a perfect, humorous note.
