Journal #5
1. She uses the surprising-reversal strategy by first presenting the problem and what she thought the solution would be, then she shows facts proving that what she thought the solution was, in reality, isn’t so great.
Shannon poses the question whether hydrogen fuel-cell cars are the solution to global warming and the scarcity of oil.
The common or popular answer would be yes; hydrogen fuel-cell cars will save the world.
The surprising answer is no, they aren’t as great as thought.
2. Shannon uses a handful of different sources to prove the popular thought wrong, and to support the idea that hydrogen fuel-cell cars are defective and still harmful, emphasizing that they’re also still a work in progress.
3. I believe her essay is more informative than persuasive because she presents a problem, the popular solution, and refutes it with facts. She doesn’t apply her personal opinion to try to persuade the reader.
