The Marlboro Man and Migrant Mother, and War Stories

The Marlboro Man and Migrant Mother, and War Stories are compelling articles with vivid descriptions of the author’s depiction of their thoughts and others. In the Marlboro Man and Migrant Mother, McClure has expertly described how features of both created an image that the common man could resonate with. Bezalel, in his article, War Stories, was more descriptive with his narration with direct extracts from the story supporting his arguments.

The writers are very intense with their imageries and are not afraid to express their point of view. Where McClure is more intense with her analogies, Bazelel takes a more relaxed approach which emphasizes on his point of view. His style is more tranquil and expressing his reflection in a manner that that mirrors that he is confident about his understanding and could very well be wrong but believes in what he has to say- whether someone agrees with his point of view or not. The Marlboro Man and Migrant Mother is a more research-based where the author, besides her considerations, is also supporting her opinion with extracts from other studies or articles proposing the same.

These essays are easy to read and have a pleasant stream of information. Bezalel, especially keeps the flow impressive with a mix of accounts and anecdotes that keep the reader aquiline. McClure, on the other hand, uses a familiarity approach where she compares and contrasts with well-known stories and brands around the world.

Both the writers are assertive in their style of writing but what I especially liked and would further use in my essays is that both writers have ingeniously mixed all techniques of writing; persuasive, descriptive and narrative and produced a smooth flowing, easy to read and digest piece.
