    1. by misrepresenting to them that concussions did not present serious, life-altering risks," the suit filed Wednesday charges.

      It really all depends on if the contract that they have signed says that a diagnosed concussion does have serious long term effects on an individuals life. If it does then I would have to consider how the contract represents the awarness of a concussion. Did the contract say that there is "a chance a concussion can have long term effects", or "a concussion will have long term effects." This will play into logos and ethos for my paper. Pathos will play in the NFL's part with the benefits of the job fame, money, benefits, overall rate in concussions across sports world. Pathos towards the Players with the symptoms of PTSD and other longterm effects described by the people them selfs on what it is like to live with these disabilities on a day to day basses. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2012/01/19/more-retired-players-join-nfl-concussion-lawsuits.html

    2. The lawsuits claim the National Football League hid evidence linking concussions to permanent brain injuries and seek millions in compensation.

      This lawsuit is claiming that the NFL is trying to hide the fact that there was concussion's that were diagnosed, and the NFL hid the fact that you can have long term effects from returning to play with a concussion. I have noticed that the people that are suing are mainly former players that must have suffered a lot of concussions. To back the NFL the players are aware that this is part of their contract and do have the option to sit out of a game if a concussion is diagnosed. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2012/01/19/more-retired-players-join-nfl-concussion-lawsuits.html

    1. Okay,incaseyoudidn’tcatchthat,listentothatlastpartonemoretime.JaystartedmakingupsomeconversationthathadwithAdnanabouthisgloves,aconversationJayneverevermentionsagainandhasnopoint

      Susan is obvious on how she is bias towards Adnan being not guilty. She constantly is pointing out that Jay lies in his story. She is good at pretending like she is not bias by giving statements with Adnan recorded voice being involved in the situation, but it all leads back her pointing the finger of guilt to Jay. With this being told by Susan it is really convincing that Jay's story has many more holes and things that do not exactly match up. When she brings up the Jay interview involving taping and Jays's pauses in the interview, she really sold me on the idea that Adnan was wrongfully tried. Susan really did successfully used pathos, ethos, logos. Using the logic of the common person, it is very clear that something was wrong in that interview.

    2. Buttherealquestionforalotofpeoplehasalwaysbeen:wereJayandAdnanfriends?

      This seems to be the author's claim of the purpose of the episode to describe what she is investigating. She seems to want to keep her ethos by not saying anything particularly bias to her opinion to far. This podcast is very similar to Koenig's and has many similarities with how she uses the evidence and how she presents it.

    1. Examples of “clues” abound from across the twelve episodes

      This writer is very well spoken and uses evidence in almost every claim that he or someone else has said. This has given the writer ethos and a great sense of credibility to the author. By stating facts the author is also building logos within this passage, things that were actually said. Then the author is allowed to give their own personal opinion to the evidence as long as it it logical to the reader, which this author does well at. This author seems to be from my understanding a Scholarly source from the how the information is presented.

    2. Serialas the Future of AudioDram

      I believe the author made his claim very easy to understand. He seemed to know that using his claim as his title was a advantage to attracting readers. I noticed that it is a title that really hooks you and makes you want to read it. Also Serial is now a well know name in the podcast audience, which is something people can recognize. With the title containing "I'm not a real detective" contains interest to a title that seems to have some drama to the passage.

    1. While we have yet to receive any definitive answer as to exactly what group hacked the DNC, the vast majority of experts believe that the attacks came from Russia or Russian-backed actors.

      Inquiry Question- Why would the news media say that Russia was responsible for the hacks if there is no definiyive answer?

      It seem to be that the media put the information out early almost on purpose to make a story, when all it seems to do is bring up mindless and pointless arguments. When the presidential debate talks about it, I thought it made the united states look weak and confused. It seems like the news does not have the best interest for the country at times. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/clinton-and-trump-fight-over-whether-putin-was-behind-dnc-hack-034310871.html

    1. And research on both people and animals suggests the reason is that a brain injury can disrupt circuits that normally dampen the response to a frightening event.

      Inquary question - Are the athletes that play football more likely to have PTSD? This study says that a concussion can lead to a higher risk in PTSD. If this is the case why has nobody in the NFL decided to state any of these facts. Not saying anything would sound like to me as something to look into about if the NFL has been trying to eliminate this from going viral. http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/09/26/495074707/war-studies-suggest-a-concussion-leaves-the-brain-vulnerable-to-ptsd

    1. That’s my fear. That I’m going to get through all this and be like, “I don’t know.”

      I think Koenig uses pathos to describe the one thing she does not want to be the end result of study of the case. I kinda understand why she does this. To show her listeners that she is even more determined to resolve this case, that it fears her not to. That she is willing to go even deeper into this story to make sure that this does not become the reality. Thats how most people are that puts their own time and energy to something, they are going to see it though entail they are satisfied. At the same time this kinda points out that she is emotionally involved in the case. Either if that is a good thing or bad thing, I don't know?

    2. She is not a small talker or a beater around of bushes. You discuss whatever it is you came to discuss full-on, looking it squarely in the face. She has no time for bullshit.

      Koenig seems to me to be trying to keep her listeners interested. She could have used another way of explaining Enright's personality and lifestyle but she chooses to use bad language. It also develops Enright's ethos, to give her credibility and to show that she actually has a view on this story worth listening to that could even change the listeners perspective. I lost a little from Koenig's good pathos that I had of her, it seems like she puts this anger into the story that was not even needed.

    1. I am still disturbed by the thought of Koenig stomping around communities that she clearly does not understand, digging up small, generally inconsequential details about the people inside of them, and subjecting it all to that inimitable “This American Life” process of tirelessly, and sometimes gleefully, expressing her neuroses over what she has found.

      Keonig did lose some some of her Ethos in serial by making judgments about topics and making comments about peoples ethnicity that really had little meaning and only took away some of her credibility. I did not notice most of the things that gave so much conflict to Keonig's story. Even when she talked about race in the court room, i was only thinking that the purpose of Koenig bringing it up was only to give some of the possible outcome of the scenario. I felt that she was just laying out all the different things to let her listeners decide if they were actually right or not, putting herself at risk purposely. She should have used a different approach to her ideas, that would have been a much less of a controversy to her podcast. Kang defiantly destroyed much of the Ethos I previously had for Keonig. Pointing out many things that unfortunately skipped my mind when listening an annotating serial. This is for sure going to change the paper that is due.

    2. “Her diary, by the way — well I’m not exactly sure what I expected her diary to be like but — it’s such a teenage girls diary.”

      I do think that Koenig is being completely unfair to the characters Hae and Adnan. She used her knowledge to describe something in a matter to get her listeners to understand. I don't think she did a great job but i do think people got the wrong message out of this quote. I believe she was describing typical things that teenagers go through and struggle with at that particular age. Not singling out her race and the expectations that she may or may not have yet. To describe it i would say that, Koenig was playing with fire but did not get burnt. http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01657/fire-fest-2_1657096i.jpg
