Kristof Analysis


I believe that Kristof’s main claim is that guns should be regulated to reduce the amount of annual deaths by firearm. Kristof also claims that regulations such as limiting gun purchases and magazine sizes will reduce the number of fatalities if a shooting is to occur. Kristof claims that by imposing on gun sales the amount of firearms to national deaths ratio will go down.

One main form of evidence that Kristoff used was statistical evidence that would improve his ethos. Another form of evidence Kristoff used is an anecdote referring to Australia’s gun control.

Kristoff uses a strong ethical appeal to persuade his audience that guns should be more regulated to decrease the amount of mass murders and deaths in the nation.
My prospective major is Mechanical Engineering. When I graduate I plan to work for large automotive companies to create the next generation in motor vehicles. I have been intrigued by automobiles since the age of five. I would often go to car shows to see the new up and coming sports cars for the market. Playing piano caught my interest around my sophomore year of high school and I have taught myself since. I play a wide variety of genres and like to experiment with my own tunes from time to time. I often post on social media sites, about my life, interests, and experiences. I post a few times a week to update my friends on what I have been up to and asking others if they would like to spend a day together. As a writer, I have a small amount of confidence in my writing. I have struggled since elementary school with writing and still try my best to enhance my writing skills.
