The authors used rhetorical appeals in different ways. She uses ethos by getting data from trustworthy sites to show us how big of a problem it is. She also gave data to show that it has gotten better for a short time when they seize a big delivery. She uses pathos by giving us some examples of people being killed because they fought against drug trafficking. This shows us that drug trafficking is a horrible bussiness that will do anything to keep working. She also uses a bit of logos by showing us how bad drug trafficking has gotten with our logic.

Quotation

On page 14, you will find the quote, “ Drug trafficking is undeniably a violent business. Many people have become numb to the everyday violence of drug trafficking-the murders, assaults, and other violent crimes that plague most large American cities and that are frequently traced back to the drug business.” This summarizes the theme of the book the best by telling us right away that is business that has many crimes involved.
