Speaker: Dana Perino likes to write about everyday important topics in her articles. Reading her column is like a friend talking to another friend or a simple conversation at a dinner party. She is both informed and casual in her presentation of this new amendment. Perino values the everyday life of people and the practical ways we function in America.
Occasion: Any occasion is a perfect time to discuss this topic. Perino makes a clear point that we are about to get "a fast one pulled on us." The American people don't generally take the time to know their current events and this is disastrous for our country. Perino urges that we may a fuss now before we get caught with much higher receipts when buying in a retail store.
Audience: Like all of Perino's articles, she continues to speak directly to the average American. She also brings up points in her articles that hit home with Republicans. Fox News likes to say they are fair and balanced, but Perino seems to hit on topics that will bring light to an idea fueled by the Democratic Party and opposed by the Republican Party. This audience is young and use debit cards frequently. The older American is still writing checks and using regular credit cards.
Purpose: Perino's purpose is to light a fire in her readers before it is too late. She aims to convince us to get involved and use our voice to stop the big corporations from making us pay the extra debit fees instead of them. There are always new amendments coming down the pike and there is plenty of need to keep readers updated. Her purpose is to make us aware that we might eventually be paying more in debit card fees than we ever imagined.
Subject: The topic of "Dick Durbin's Dastardly Plan for Your Debit Card," is the new amendment which about to be passed in 2010. Perino noted that we might have been distracted my the oil spill and the unemployment rate and that this amendment deserves as much attention. Big banks and corporations always want to take over what they can here in America. Using a debit card is convenient and widely used by most young Americans. This is an amendment we need to stop before we can't get control back. Perino says, "The problem with this type of legislation is that once the change is made, it's baked in the cake and you can’t take out a single ingredient."
Tone: Perino's tone is accusatory toward Dick Durbin and the democrats because she feels they are trying to move something through without proper discussion and free speech from the American public. At the same time, Perino is critical of the American people and how easily we overlook or are uninterested in the current amendments. She is anxious for people to get involved in the discussion and stop this amendment before we regret it.
It is difficult to consider how many amendments, bills and laws are passed with very few Americans realizing the possible seriousness of each one. The average American is so busy every day and barely has time to watch the news in the morning or at night. It is clearly difficult to consistently keep up with every piece of legislation passing through Congress. Dana Perino attempts to keep us informed to many various topics affecting us. The debit card is as necessary to most as gas. Americans' love having convenient ways to get what they need and the debit card is popular because it feels less like play money than using a credit card. Because of the hustle and bustle of life, we may not even notice the extra fees added to our daily purchases. These extra fees can add up and steal necessary money right out of American pockets. Perino is suggesting a call to action. She encourages her readers "to make a fuss" and do something quick.
