So here's the body paragraph we wrote as a class yesterday. I've tweaked and drafted it a little to make it read a little better, but it's largely still the same.
Elissa Massimino passionately expresses her belief in the importance of Internet freedom and attempts to emotionally invoke the audience into understanding and appreciating her point of view. The importance of “the safety of innocent people”, Massimino highlights, is one of the most important restrictions that needs to be placed upon WikiLeaks. This is, however, the only restriction that needs to be put in place in her opinion. Massimino is possibly trying to frighten her audience by highlighting that “…governments and companies…pose a threat to fundamental rights.” This tonal shift towards aggression when discussing the US government and businesses compared to the more genial tone expressed towards Julain Asange in the previous paragraph, highlights clearly the author’s opinion of both parties and her obvious intention to persuade the audience to feel the same way.
The original article is linked below, in case you've misplaced it. You now need to write the rest of the essay yourself.
