Damascus Explosion


 


 

This article discusses a recent event in Damascus, Syria where a car bomb went off and killed and wounded many people. In total, 15 people were killed and many more wounded. The author of this article packs on the logos to first inform the reader of the situation. He includes details about the surrounding buildings and setting to provide imagery of the explosion. Nobody has been convicted for this crime, but speculations run high as the attack was near a local school. The author then transitions into pathos as he includes quotations and interviews of the locals who show their fear from the attack. The sense of danger clearly has shaken the people of Damascus as one woman cries because she does not know if her daughter is dead or alive. The article concludes with investigations and a search for answers as to who might have planted this act of terrorism.
