The fourth review is on the BBC article 'How I almost became a Boko Haram suicide bomber' by Anne Soy, a BBC Africa health correspondent.
This article is about a young woman who was captured and forced to become a suicide bomber and kill people from where she once lived. The day before the planned attack however, she tried to warn her family and people in the area but unfortunately she was too late and two people had already committed suicide through bombs. The woman was so affected by this that she no longer even knows her age.
The author appeals to the reader's pathos by mentioning not only how young the woman was but how it affected her life and how she only had good intentions going into it. She was only searching for a way to get rid of her spiritual problems. The author also mentions how she tried to warn her family, which is really sad, especially since she way too late. Anne Soy also appeals to the reader's logos, by providing statistics such as how many people the Boko Haram group has killed, and kidnapped (which is very upsetting how large the number) The author's tone, like many of her other articles is very professional. This is standard for an article like this as not only does it establish credibility but it allows for the audience to be more attentive.
The purpose of writing this article was to spread awareness on these abductions and the terrible things that this terror group is committing. These kinds of attacks are very common for terror groups. Many times terror groups will try to kidnap people like reporters who seem to be most vulnerable, and then brainwash them to do whatever they want. It is a very scary tactic but it is real and people need to be aware of these kinds of things.
