This is not necessarily a controversial article, but was fun to read non the less. The use of rhetoric questions made this article interesting, as well as giving the impression that the author actually was thinking about what the reader was thinking. And the words he uses make you laugh. "A small number of chocolate geeks, maybe; a smattering of gastrocrats." No one ever uses words like that in everyday language, and it makes the article seem much more amusing and interesting. With each aspect of the chocolate bar being examined, from the name to the texture to the stories behind it, this article leaves little wanting from the reader.

A good review, though it is quite short. This also could use some paragraphs. You're also missing 3 of the DIDLS to talk about. Though, the quote you used is a good one! I like how you talked about how it effects the overall article and how it effects the reader. A bit more of that and you'd be good :)
ReplyDeleteSo, you obviously know what you're talking about. "A smattering a gastrocrats", that's beautiful, so remember to identify it as diction. Apart from that, you would need two more DIDLS, and some organization.
ReplyDeleteLike M said, I think you need to expand a little on DIDLS and how the author used it to demonstrate his/her bias.
