Tweeting The Revolution

            This story is primarily pathos just within its nature. This subject is a highly emotional one that connects deeply with most. Black people are reminded of what their relatives went through. White people are reminded of what their relatives did. For both it already causes a great deal of emotion just thinking about the subject. Mr. Gladwell mentions “when ten thousand protestors took to the streets in Moldava.” A person fighting for his or her rights brings a sense of patriotic pride to those of us that have them. We generally want everyone to be able to have the same amount of freedom that we are so lucky to have. Later he mentions “that Al Qaeda was ‘eating our lunch on the Internet.’” This again brings up a sensitive subject in the hearts of many Americans. This terrorist group brought one of the biggest national disasters that this country has ever seen. For ten years, and hopefully for many more we remember the terrible things that happened on that day. The Klu Klux Klan is mentioned and a story is told about three young boys trying to help out that were kidnapped and killed, again trying to bring up emotions from the reader in order to pull them closer to siding with him. This author I believe is trying to push people to actually do something. “But it (Donating Bone Marrow) doesn’t involve financial or personal risk; it doesn’t mean spending a summer being chased by armed men in pickup trucks.” They (evangelists of social media) seem to believe that a Facebook friend is the same as a real friend and that singing up for a donor registry in Silicon Valley today is activism in the same snse as sitting at a segregated lunch counter.”
