All over the news have been reports concerning a terrorist
group who go by the name of ISIS. The earliest occurrence was in August when a
journalist was attacked and held in captivity. After the brutal torturing the
group took out a camera and filmed his beheading and sent this gruesome video
to the united states government. Since then other kidnapping, hacking, and
attacks have occurred in this article I read about a towie fan who travelled to
Syria and has a strong insight of what ISIS is like there. Tareena Shakil, a
british women ran away to Syria after telling relatives she would be on holiday
in Spain. However the life in ISIS held Raqqa was hard and she escaped across
the Turkish border. Now Shakil begs her father for forgiveness in hopes for him
to take her back home. Currently she is being held in a Turkish detention
center, and she just met with her father a few days ago for an emotional
reunion.
The artilcle evokes pathos about the living situation
by including the brutal conditions like, “'Life is so hard there. There's
no hot water, no electricity for hours on end, none of the comforts we are used
to in Britain.
'I escaped death
so many times. There were bombs coming down on the street where I lived every
night. The house would shake. I didn't know if I was going to live or
die." (Dailymail.Uk)

audience, directed towards those in Britain of the life of those who travelled
to join the extremist group. The author Emma Glanfield is a frequent writer on
the attacks of this terrorist organization. She establishes her credibility by
