11、is piece of writing is a magazine editorial. It first appeared in Saturday Review (a weekly magazine published in the U.S.A.) on 5th May, 1962. The writer gives us a serious account of a single incident - the tragic death of a prizefighter as a result of the societys questionable mores that regard p
12、rizefighting as a means of making money and giving entertainment.In keeping with the seriousness of his purpose - the polemical argument of a problem of human interest: “What caused Benny Parefs death?”the writer states his opinion explicitly and unambiguously in order to win the reader over to his
13、point of view. The following arc the various methods the writer employs to express his viewpoint:1. The use of an intriguing title, Who Killed Benny Paret?” This quickly arouses the readers curiosity and attracts his attention.2. The telling use of authoritative “inside” information from the world o
14、f boxing. Mike Jacobs, the most powerful figure in the boxing world, is quoted on “how to please the crowd”. The author clarifies and limits the subject by relating his interview with the recognized expert in order to give more weight to his own opinion, as the reader tends to believe and agree to w
15、hat “Number One“ says about a subject in his line.3. The subtle use of medical evidence in the description of what happens when the human fist delivers a strong blow to the head to give strong support to his argument.4. The skilfully dismissive way in which he suggests that the investigators“ looked
16、 into every possible cause except “the real one”.5. The persuasive argument that the primary responsibility for the boxers death lies with “the people who pay to see a man hurt. (Paras. 7, 8, 9, 10)An attempt to create in the reader a sense of guilt at Jacobs portrayal of those who watch boxing and
17、a sharing with the writer of a sense of disgust when he describes in sickening detail the crowds excitement at the brutality acted out in the ring for their entertainment.6.

18、iled description of a helpless boxer being smashed into unconsciousness for the sole amusement of the crowd to put maximum pressure on the reader, making him wish such barbarities to be stopped.As well as the methods given above, the writer uses a varied style to make the reader interested in what h
19、e is saying and to persuade him to accept his point of view. The following are the characteristics of his style:1. He quotes economically and judiciously from Mike Jacobs. Most of Jacobs9 phraseology is followed without being directly quoted. The direct quotations are limited only to four key senten
20、ces which express with brutal and shocking clarity the reasons why a crowd comes to a boxing match. In this way, the reasons are given with an authoritative tone.2. He matches the flurry of investigations with a flurry of statements and questions 一 one following the other in quick succession.3. He g
21、ives the medical evidence succinctly in a series of mainly short non-complex sentences which compresses a lot of technical information into a very short space so as to avoid the possibility of the reader losing interest or skipping this part.4. He makes full and good use of journalistic brevity and
22、conciseness. He tells us the following facts within fifty words.who a young manwhen - recentlywhat - killedwhere - in the ringhow 一 hit hard in the headHe employs parallelism, one of the basic rhetorical principles, very effectively in order to give emphasis to his points.Examples:You put killers in

24、out of his nose or eyes, when he wobbles under the attack and his pursuer continues to smash him with poleax impact.He was hit hard in the head several times, went down, was counted out and never came out of the coma.The writers last use of parallelism is particularly effective. He piles detail upon
25、 detail so that the reader wishes to stop the seemingly never-ending cruelty and barbarity.Example:Dont blame it on the referee, dont even blame it on the fight manager.On the whole, the language is simple, direct and “punching，and the article is full of short sentences. The writing moves at a brisk
26、 pace so as to hold the reader attention throughout.5.
