# March, # Why are we so angry?
A) Identifying myself to an article is something that I look forward to when reading and that is exactly what happened with “Why are we so angry?”. I enjoyed this article because I could relate to several of the stories they listed. Anger is definitely a big problem in today’s society and although there are many ways to be happy, anger is always present and easier to come by with today’s lifestyle especially in “America”. For me, driving is a place where I frequently get mad so when I read the hook of this essay it automatically caught my attention and as I read more and more it seemed like this article was “hitting home” with every story it told. I can totally see the authors point. Also, I liked how he tries to give a few tips on how to fight ones temper at the end. For example the first line of “How do you tame a toxic temper?” where he states “The first step is to figure out what’s really making you angry” was a nice to read because I know for a fact that many people take out frustrations on other people or thing as an excuse to not confront what’s really bothering them.
B) In this particular essay I believe the author used Ethos, Pathos and logos extremely well because for ethos for example, we tend to believe people we respect and by giving us exact descriptions of situations with names and places me as a reader feels secure that he knows what he’s talking about. For Pathos the author makes us feel the anger that the characters are feeling, he makes us want to also grab that golf club and smash the other drivers windows. Overall the essay is direct, the reasoning behind it is perfect by showing us a situation and elaborating on it.
