9/30/2017 Tillerson, In Rare High-Level Acknowledgement, Says U.S. Is in Direct Contact With North Korea - Charles HutzlerRead Now We all know that the United States and North Korea are in bad terms and that things could go bad at any moment, but what we don't know is what is being done to resolve the issue between the two countries. This article covers this issue. Hutzler covers Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's recent comments on the communication with North Korea. According to Hutzler we are in contact with North Korea and are working to solve the tension. It is not as bad as most think, "We have lines of communication to Pyongyang. We're not in a dark zone." The article describes the current condition of the relationship between the United States and North Korea.
Hutzler uses a very formal diction throughout the article. He incorporates very deliberate words which shows that he is very serious towards the topic. It appears that Hutzler is very relived that someone that high in the government has released confirmation that the governments are communicating. The author states that a "high level" official saying this is "rare." Although he is not very attached as he is not a government official but he is more attached than the average citizen as he was able to receive the information before the public. The author is straight forward and he uses sophisticated words which express a dry tone. He lacks descriptive words as well as being very formal which makes me see the tone as dry, which is acceptable for an article on this topic. Hutzler does not incorporate many rhetorical devices in this article. Although there is not an abundance of these devices, the author uses a hyperbole to describe the that the upcoming summit with President Xi and President Trump is "the most important event" in the relationship between the United States and China. He wants to insure the reader that this will be a very important meeting that could change the United states ties with China forever. By influencing the reader that this is important, the readers will view the entire article as a more meaningful piece. Hutzler also personifies Mr. Tillerson's words to make them seem more significant. He states that many are upset whether his words carry weight with President Trump." The audience will realize that Tillerson's words are very relevant because people are hoping Trump will be influenced by them. He wants the topic he is covering to appear very relevant. The tone of this article is dry. The article is very bare bones and does not include many rhetorical devices. He includes many quotes and facts to make his point and tone very straight foward. He feels that by keeping unnecessary information out, it will decrease the amount of bias that may give false information. It is important that he does this because he wants the public to get the correct information. Hutzler does not feel very emotional connected, therefore he wants to show the people of whats going on in the government. The authors purpose is to inform the general public that the United States is working to fix the relationship between them and North Korea. He also wants to inform the readers that a high official confirmed that the countries are communicating. This is obvious to see as he uses quotes throughout and incorporates them in a majority of his sentences . This makes the readers aware that he is trying to give an unbiased analysis of Tiillerson's statements. By creating this sort of credibility, the readers will trust the article and will also read future articles by the author.
