How is Thomas’s diction different from O’Connell’s? What effect could this diction have on each writer’s ability to engage and convince readers?

Besides having opposing opinions on the matter, Thomas and O’Connell´s editorials have different styles when it comes to diction.

Explanation:

O’Connell uses formal and academic words, a serious tone, statistics, and research references to support his position, all of which will probably be more engaging for readers from academic backgrounds and people dedicated to institutional matters.

On the other hand, Thomas´ editorial is not as formal, with a more approachable vocabulary. Furthermore, the tone is rather emotional, as it appeals to the reader´s personal experience from the beginning, and supports his ideas appealing to personal references such as "I’m concerned that", and what "students deserve". This Kind of diction will probably be more engaging for readers of different backgrounds and socioeconomic situations, including, for example, the students and their parents.

Answer from: Quest

I'm not going to write 150 words lol, but i will you with giving you examples of how they kept the animal population from revolting. napoleon made a list of rules, and told everyone how "important they are even though he was known to break them and then have them changed by the only animal who could read on the farm. none of the animals were intelligent enough to read, so they never knew if they had been changed or not which was an advantage to napoleon. napoleon constantly reminded them that if they revolted they would have to go back to mr. jones' way of things, which in retrospect was "worse" (wasn't really worse though, he was just saying that to intimidate since he didn't wanna lose his power). one of the main reasons they revolted in the first place was food, and of course if they revolt napoleon will not share food with them.
