Rhetorical Precis

In his newspaper article, “Garrido terms-him: 431 to life, her: 36 to life,” Demian Bulwa describes the sentencing and outcomes from the Jaycee Lee Dugard kidnapping case and gives an overview of the charges and penalties that the Garrido’s faced as well as insight into what went wrong when the 11 year old went missing for 18 years of her life. Bulwa backs up his claim by explaining the dire circumstances with which Jaycee Lee Dugard was under as well as the penalties that the Garrido’s will face for the remainder of their existence. In order to explain the dire situation that Dugard was in, Bulwa mentions that there may have been parole system fallout within the case because Phillip Garrido was already a registered sex offender and drug abuser. He has a sympathetic and matter-of-fact attitude which is targeting an already persuaded audience with this particular issue.
