Diction The diction in the article titled,"The first reactions to Black Panther promise a game-changing movie for Marvel" suggests that the author is excited for Black Panther to come out and what the cultural impact of the film. This is exemplified by the word,"awesome", which was used when describing the quality of the film. His tone is shown through the words,"awesome," and, "silly", both used at different points in the article. The word silly lacks a level of professionalism seen in news sites from print media, like The Washington Post or The New York Times, which is to say that it is rather casual in nature. Rhetorical Devices Abad-Santos utilized parenthesis when he desired to input information(and once opinion) that did not entirely go with the sentence being spoken. This can bee seen within the first few paragraphs with,"(including Spider-Man: Homecoming, Marvel’s joint venture with Sony)" which was used to give further information and context regarding a data point. Tone The tone throughout the article was casual but informed, as seen through the words,"silly" and "awesome". The words are most used in casual conversation, which makes the reader feel like they are reading something that is about an issue more centered around humans. The informed part was seen through the words,"important and integral" and "Pride, power, and grace are synonymous to Wakanda and its king." The word choice makes the reader think that the author clearly knows what they are writing about. Purpose The purpose of the article was to bring attention to representation in the media of POC in superhero roles and the reactions to Black Panther due to that issue, as well as simply bringing attention to the film Black Panther. Argument through Appeals
The argumet is organized by first introducing Marvel and describing the movies they have had and the general representation of POC in it, then discussing the reactions to the film about, then giving background to what, or rather who, Black Panther actually is in the Marvel universe, and finally discussing the general quality of the movie and what it should mean.
