Rihanna v.s Chris Brown
"Rihanna describes night of attack by Chris Brown" ~ Reporting by Jill Serjeant; Editing by Bob Tourtellotte (found on Google.com)

When given this assignment to find and reveiw an article I wanted to pick somthing that mattered to me. I chose "Rihanna describes night of attack by Chris Brown" article by Google for a few reasons. Google is a trustworthy site that many people use. One of my reasons is that I don't think it is right to have someone's personal lives spilled out on the t.v screens, another reason I chose this article is because at first Rihanna was hurt and scared. But now she is, in my opinion, using the attack for publicity. Which is wrong, regualr people out there today get attacked or are in abusive realationships all of the time and its not plastered all over the tabloids, and those people are hardly noticed about in the society. So why should this futher Rihanna's career, when it in reality it scars the victim for life.

In the article it says that Rihanna has gone on several shows speaking of her incident, which she was too scared to do a couple of week ago. This article is bias towards the Rihanna, or the victim of the attack. They do not mention once Brown's side of the story or say anthing about him besides the bad move he made that night. I am not promoting Chris Brown or his actions. All I am saying is that they should hear him out too, and that Rihanna should not use her tragedy for publicity.

When reading the article I noticed a ton of pathos related language. They said things like "...ex-boyfriend Chris Brown attacked her, saying he had bitten her, put her in a headlock and left her bleeding and swollen...Her screams prompted a passer-by to call the police..." Rihanna said things like this too like "...I was bleeding, I was swollen in the face... So there was no way of me getting home, except for, my next option was to get out of the car and walk. Start walking in a gown, in a bloody face. So I really don't know what my plan was..." Saying these things made the audiance feel for her, and it worked all too well. Making former fans of Chris Brown hate him even more, when the truth is it's really none of their buisness. (Serjeant).
