Tina Blue starts out with a story of an 18 year old boy, Jeremy Strohmeyer, raping and strangling a seven year old girl while his best friend, David Cash, witnessed the incident and walked away as if nothing happened. People lashed out and protested against Cash for a while, but eventually this died down, and Cash was able to go about his life as usual. This should not be acceptable. Everybody knows that crime has always existed and always will, butcriminals these days often get away with the terrible things they do. Sometimes they attract so much attention they become famous. In today's society, fame and infamy are pretty much the same thing. Marla Maples had an affair with a married man and broke up a family with several children. Marla's hometown had a "Marla Maples Day" with a parade and even a street named after her.
This post uses ethos and pathos to get the point across. The stories of criminals-turned-celebrities stir up anger. The behaviour of these people is awful and should be shunned by society. Instead, we give them fame, tv interviews, and way too much media attention. The post really makes the reader wonder what happened to morals. The behavior of these people deserves punishment, but instead they gain fame. Any person with morals would agree that such behavior is intolerable.
