CommonPlace Questions

You are Being Lied to, Again: Baseball’s New Drug

By Donnie Thomas

Commonplace has a very broad audience in which it is targeting. Mostly anyone can relate to at least one of the issues presented by Commonplace.

Commonplace contains article genres of learning value. All of the pieces in commonplace can be educational upon reading.

The writers get to the main point they are trying to express very quickly and back up their claims with strong supporting evidence.

Logos is the stronger of the three presented in my article. The author uses strong facts and personal evidence to support his claims. The author’s connection to the sport of baseball emotionally also shows pathos to a degree.

He presented cases of illegal drug use in baseball that are very well known because of the notable figures used in the introduction.

I think most of the commonplace essays could be described as informational.

They use claims and evidence throughout. They are much more concise and to the point without much analyzing.

Seemingly every paragraph uses the A.C.E. paragraph guideline perfectly. The primary source is very clear and the author successfully integrates factual secondary source evidence.
