The flooding in Bangladesh is a topic that has not gained much traction in the US. However, that does not mean it is not happening. Journalists from the New York Times posted an article about the floods. The rhetoric in this article appeals to the reader’s pathos and logos.
The pathos talks about how people are being separated from their families and their homes destroyed. Saif and Ives say, “Ms. Begum had no provisions because she had left her home in such a hurry. Initially, her family had to drink floodwater, she said. They also did not eat for two days, until another family shared a meal with them.” This shows the impact the floods have, starving the people of Bangladesh. The pictures also show destruction.
The logos refers to climate change and how special attention needs to occur to the recent natural disasters in the world as well as the temperature we are facing.
