7 TIMES

Her tone is like a sincere questionable tone. That makes the reader feel more. The facts are that a 12 year old boy was holding a toy gun and the police confused it with an actual gun. The police told the boy to drop the weapon but he failed to listen and instead turned around pointing the gun at them. They shot hit 7 times, two of which were fatal. There is a difference in information between the blogs posts. Erica's blog fails to mention the polices' motives for shooting the boy after he turned around aiming the gun at them. Erica concludes that the police had no reason to shoot the boy 7 times when only 1 shot is enough for him. Erica gives us that caring tone which makes the reader feel more. Her writing style also impacts the reader. The way she includes the question "why 7 times? " makes the reader think in her perspective. The boy shouldn't have been shot 7 times. Erica's post is a lot more emotional impacting that Javi's. It's because of the tone she used. Javi's post on the other hand is more informational because he wrote it like an article in the newspaper. He even provides a picture of the toy rifle the boy used being compared to a real rifle. After reading Erica's and looking at the picture Javi provides it makes the impact of Erica's post decrease. I honestly thought that it was a toy rifle that can obliviously be seen as a toy and that the police overreacted. Then that change when I saw Javi's picture. The toy rifle actually looks like a real rifle. I can imagine why the police would have mistaken it for the real thing because they look a lot similar.
