Sincere Analysis of Sincere Trade

We Need Sincere Free Trade

1) Tone. "...when will they realize the same goes for developing countries?" The author uses not only a very "matter-of-fact" tone, but also one that pleads without sounding desperate. This is a tone many people can appreciate because it provides them with information laced with emotional appeal and yet doesn't sound too whiny. It really helps him connect with his target audience.

2) Diction. "The EU's protectionism isn't unique; most rich countries have similar systems." In this article the author communicates in a way that is logical and proper, and yet uses words more familiar to those without an overextensive vocabulary. He communicates intelligently without belittling. This helps him win freinds while polititians who seek to use misleading and deceptive language win enemies.

3) Allusion. "The Cold War 'Iron Curtain' between East and West has been replaced with a customs curtain between North and South." The image of the Cold War, especially to the age group that is the intended audience, is powerful. By alluding that the customs between North and South have become just as "Iron-y", he creates a strong emotional response in his readers.
