In a political article by the Washington Post, the text states, "In multiple miserable corners of the world, where U.S. envoys and aid would normally be helping victims, deterring malevolent actors and seeking political solutions, there is a void." The word is used correctly, stating that evil states or people were deterred by U.S. intervention. The word is used correctly, as it shows not only that the aforementioned party is bad, but that they have a bad influence on others. The word evokes a tone that causes the reader of the article to feel that the malevolent party is bad, using such a dark word.]]> 2018-05-08 14:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_murphy2/epjp6b1c30mv/wish/258913314 jack_murphy2 https://padlet.com/jack_murphy2/epjp6b1c30mv/wish/258916574 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/10/us/politics/trump-cancels-trip-latin-america-crisis-syria.html
In a clever play on words, the NYT says, "Trump needs to be less moronic and more laconic." The word is used correctly and comedically, showing that Trump needs to say what he means as opposed to just spitting out words. The tone of the word shows that Trump's actions can be slow, and the article calls him out for not speaking to the point.]]> 2018-05-08 14:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_murphy2/epjp6b1c30mv/wish/258916574 jack_murphy2 https://padlet.com/jack_murphy2/epjp6b1c30mv/wish/258917971 https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/my-burmawas-a-lie-woven-from-the-blossom-scented-nostalgia-of-exiles/2018/05/01/f77ce998-3dc8-11e8-974f-aacd97698cef_story.html?utm_term=.099199f7b334
As is still a problem today, the genocide in Myanmar (Burma) is a heavy problem. The article uses it correctly, as the killings in Myanmar are ethnically driven, creating genocide. The tone is serious and sad, as genocide is a serious issue.]]> 2018-05-08 14:13:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_murphy2/epjp6b1c30mv/wish/258917971 jack_murphy2 https://padlet.com/jack_murphy2/epjp6b1c30mv/wish/258920806 http://www.bbc.com/news/business-44003521
In a BBC article about oil, they mention a major pipeline, the largest in the southern hemisphere. The simple word is used correctly, and the tone is grand as it is a large area and impressive to be the largest on that half of the Earth.f]]> 2018-05-08 14:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_murphy2/epjp6b1c30mv/wish/258920806 jack_murphy2 https://padlet.com/jack_murphy2/epjp6b1c30mv/wish/258922063 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/07/nyregion/cynthia-nixon-cuomo-debate-ny-challenge.html
In one of many political articles by the NYT to use this word, the article refers to a candidate as a hypocrite, saying they contradict themselves. This is the correct usage as the candidate did contradict themselves. The tone is accusing and slightly hostile, as is expected from a political article.]]> 2018-05-08 14:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_murphy2/epjp6b1c30mv/wish/258922063
