The article I found pertaining to sustainability is about the legal and illegal logging in Ghana, Africa. The destruction of these trees effects the wildlife and the environment itself. I enjoyed reading and writing about this article because it is not a popular topic. It is definitely a topic worth raising awareness about. One of the rhetorical devices the author, Nicole Arcilla, uses throughout the whole article is diction. The diction of this article is really moving. Arcilla put actual facts and research from universities such as Drexel University.
One of the other rhetorical devices the author uses is metaphor and alliteration. There is a section of the article when Arcilla refers to Africa as " the Wild West". It makes sense because she was talking about the result of legal and illegal logging would do to Africa after 15 years. It would be bare. The Wild West is bare and dry. I am from the West so it put things into perspective of what the beautiful tropical forests of Africa would turn into with no trees. The West is not that pretty because its all desert. The rhetorical devices helped shape this article into an interesting read.
