Man in Charge of Feminist Movement

    The following information can be found in TheOnion. It has been a long time since women have been fighting for their rights. But it seems like having a female leader is not good enough to catch people's attention. A 58 year old man definitely does not think that the Feminist Movement is working so well. That is why he has taken charge of this, and is now the chief of the initiative for women's rights. A man by the name of Peter McGowan is full of confidence, and is ready to make a change for women.
    Peter has decided that the first thing he is going to take care of is sexual harassment. He puts this before securing reproductive rights and promoting healthy body images for women. He feels that it is the most important out of the rest. Peter claims that he is going to bring more attention to women's sports as well. It seems funny how a man is trying to take action and advance on the women's rights initiative. Maybe this unordinary action will catch more people's attention.

Coyote Vs. Acme

     This essay was written by Ian Frazier. It is about  the law-suit of Mr. Wile E Coyote. The plaintiff is Wile E Coyote and the defendant is the ACME company. Throughout the essay, some of Coyote's accidents are explained with details.  According to Coyote, these accidents happened due to ACME's products. The reason why Coyote is getting into many accidents is because he is not following the directions or reading the warnings of the ACME products. The purpose of this essay is to show how in some cases people get taken to court for stupid reasons. It is also to show how people defend themselves and interact in court. 
    The tone of this essay is humorous and informative. Frazier's statements are mostly sarcastic, which keeps the reader interested. The audience is the people in the court and the jury. Ian Frazier shows how much of a fool Coyote is in the essay but commenting on many of Coyote's excuses and reasons for his accidents.
