In this article, author Micah Peters uses informal diction, using pronouns such as "you" (line 1) and using profanities through his article, which make Peters seem more credible and honest. He also uses the adjective "dumb" multiple times in the third paragraph, weakening his argument because he sounds uneducated. Peters seems to have a very strong emotional attachment to the topic, making his argument more impactful to his audience.
A skill that Peters could work on later in his writing career is his syntax. In this article, the sentences are very short, nothing is really expanded upon or explained, and he uses commas carelessly, making his argument gradually weaker as the article progresses. Peters attempts to use syntax to appeal to a wider audience, however, his simplistic syntax turns away any potential readers he say have due to the choppiness and lack of knowledge about the topic. The tone of the article is very optimistic. He references the first 'Guardians of the Galaxy' movie multiple times while describing the new movie, and says ""The Chain" are probably going to be perfect. Don't believe me? Here's the latest trailer". His tone of voice in that phrase is very optimistic, and he seems to be anxiously waiting for the new movie to be released. The purpose for this article is to evoke anticipation for the 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2' movie being released in the summer, which is very meaningful for Marvel fans who did not know about a sequel, or did know about the sequel, but did not know the full details about it. Peters uses personal experience and knowledge about past Marvel movies, as well as the 'Guardian of the Galaxy' franchise to hype up the forthcoming movie. Overall, His confusing syntax and informal diction combine to make his argument very weak.
