People may think that their local journalists only write about things happening in their area, but that is not true. Journalists even go out across different parts of the world, and even write down they did and their experience. Sharron Livingston wrote an article about her experience on trying to spot a tiger in Sundarbans National Park. In her article, she used several rhetorical strategies in her words and her photos. Her title "Spotting a tiger in the Sunderbans National Park, West Bengal, India" is in a big font, and the text color is white because she put her title within the picture of a tiger, so her audience can see the title within the picture. On top of her title, there are three small text boxes that have "Livingston's world" in one box, "Travel Articles" in the second box, and "West Bengal" in the third box. Underneath the title, she states in white text color that "Spotting a tiger in its natural habitat in India is notoriously hard. The mangroves and forests of the Sunderbans National Park are shrouded in mist, mostly uninhabitable and much of it is out of bounds to most humans." Underneath it, the audience can see her name and when her article was published. Livingston uses sections in her article. Livingston has different sections in her article to explain what that section is about. For example, one section in her article is about Sundarbans. Livingston uses a lot of details in her article. Once her audience gets past the Sundarbans section, the later sections become a timeline of her experience. Within her article, Livingston includes pictures of some of the animals she saw, and put what animal they are underneath it. Livingston even includes a map from Google maps to show where the national park is located. I noticed that she spelled it "Sunderbans", but it is actually spelled "Sundarbans". But maybe people can spell it either way. Livingston mentions the several animals that she saw that did not have pictures of. She included a picture of the Canopy Walk and a picture of the Hay Transportation within her article. Livingston uses a little bit of quotations that their naturalists said within the article. Lastly, at the end of her article, Livingston mentions her message that she wants her audience to understand. Livingston concluded that "There is no doubt that the Sunderbans has a beautiful soothing landscape with its crisscrossing rivulets, creek and verdant forests. But spotting a tiger is as unlikely as winning a tenner on the lottery; but as the honeymooners proved, it does happen." Even though she did not get to actually see a tiger in the park, does not mean that it is impossible to spot a tiger there.
