Lately, in America, there have been many parents speculating the amount of safety provided at the schools of their kids. However, the U.S. is not the only country suffering these concerns. In countries such as Nigeria, students, specifically schoolgirls have been being abducted and reported missing, someone for days to weeks at a time and others gone forever. Authors Stephanie Bursari and Bukola Adebayo use their appeal to pathos and an informative tone in order to provide awareness on such a large and continuous issue based on a region where terrorists are known to take girls. A mother by the name of Garba Tela, had said that she hadn't wanted to send her daughter to school in Dapchi because "they take girls there" and now says that after her daughter has been abducted, her remaining kids have refused to go back to school. The fact that parents are afraid to send their kids to school and that kids refuse to go to school really brings pity or sympathy out of the reader. No such should feel like they will be harmed while they are out getting their education, especially not by outside invaders. This applies to parents as well, no parent should ever have to fear for their child's safety in an environment meant for learning and formal relationships. The mother continues to sound hopeless, saying that "we are just village people, we don't have the power to chase the people who took our daughter." This statement invokes a sense of anger and maybe even sadness in the reader because it should be the government's responsibility to keep their children safe, not to leave a small village to fend for themselves against terrorists groups known for abducting young women. Throughout the article, the authors make sure to maintain an informative tone in order to let the reader know that this isn't just an opinionated article, but one of real world problems. In the second section of the article, the authors go into another kidnapping within Nigeria (Chibok), about 170 miles for the abduction in Dapchi. The Chibok kidnapping of about 276 schoolgirls had sparked global outrage and had even caused well-known celebrities to take part in this movement. All of this action had eventually led to the release of many of the captives, but it is estimated that about 100 remain in captivity. Parents of this abduction can only hope that they get thier daughters home safely.
