This article that I hyperlinked is a article by Krista Ramsey in which she crtiscizes the idea of arming teachers in schools to help prevent school shootings. She thinks that this is a horrible idea and she lists many reasons why it should be stopped.
"It's unrealistic and, in fact, insulting to think people who entered the profession of education should be turned into teacher-law enforcement hybrids." The way this line affects the reader is it uses a metaphor to show what the teacher would be turned into. They would now be "teacher-law enforcement hybrids." The use of the word hybrid is a great choice in diction. It shows that it would be very hard to conceal the weapon and still teach normally.
The style that Ramsey writes with is a comedic but accusing style of writing. "Why, out of all the things we told them – get good haircuts and keep a half-tank of gas in your car, pay off your credit card every month and get a flu shot – did they lock onto the stuff we said about following their dreams and listening to their heart?"
What kind of responses do your articles usually get?
Why do you write with the comedic accusing style you have?
