By Vasco Cotovio, Isa Soares,and Hilary Clark: Sunday October 1, 2017 In this article written by Vasco Cotovio Isa Soares and Hilary Clarke is published in a time of tension in the nation of Spain. One of the most important states of Spain Catalonia is trying to declare its own independence once again but this time through an illegal vote they call a "referendum". The results are shocking as the "Spanish national police launched a wide spread crackdown on Catalonia's disputed referendum" (Cotovio 1). Images show the national police breaking in to the many voting polls that were set up. The articles is set up for readers that are interested in other countries political disputes. Its clear that throughout the article the author shows a very formal diction, "In scenes that reverberated around Spain, riot police smashed their way into some polling locations and beat back voters with batons as they attempted to take part in the referendum. Hundreds of injuries were reported" (Cotovio 2). The authors of this piece make a formal diction to emphasize the importance that this has to do with Spain. This matter is urgent now that Catalonia is one of the states that brings the most income to Spain not to mention the world famous Football (Soccer) Club FC Barcelona which played their match behind closed doors in support of the Madrid government, "FC Barcelona said a match against a rival that supports the Madrid government would be played behind closed doors" (Cotovio 11). The authors appeal to logos as they state accurate information about the events to get the real story out there, "The Spanish Interior Ministry said authorities closed 92 of about 2,300 polling stations" (Cotovio 15). The intentional purpose of these authors was to get the story of Spain out there because its very important that the world knows that Spain might be getting smaller. They do this by using a formal diction along with many appeals to logos to state facts and events with real numbers to describe the situation present in Catalonia, Spain. Definitely moments of tension the government in Spain is facing.
