Analyzing Editorial and Opinion Pieces

    In this article, a lot of points were made about how to separate extreme bias and actual reasoning when you are reading and writing editorials.  This is very important because you can't write an effective essay if you hold a personal bias on the subject.  If you do this, your essay will come off somewhat childish and not very informative. Also, this essay talks about how to use the three appeals (logos, pathos, and ethos) effectively in an editorial.  This will make the piece more appealing to the reader.
     After reading the three of these articles, I am still confused about how to do one thing in this piece.  I am confused about how to make the tone formal enough so that it fits the genre but still can appeal to readers.  I feel like it can't be too informal because then it won't serve the correct purpose, but it wouldn't serve the purpose if it was too formal either. The struggle is real.
