My article, titled "Sandler Goes With It At the Box Office" by Brooks Barnes, talks about how Adam Sandler still has what it takes to bring home the number one box office seller during opening weekend by a long shot. His new movie co-starring Jennifer Aniston is called "Just Go With It," and is the 11th movie of his to reach number one. The intended audience are people who go to the movie theaters a lot, therefore they will already most likely have knowledge of who Adam Sandler is and be familiar with his films. This argument is not biased in any way because it is based solely on facts. The author suggests that Sandler's crude humor never fails to appease audiences, which according to box office statistics still holds true to this day. Logos is used because of the credible facts she uses, and they also make this article an academic source. Since the opinions of Sandler's success are correctively supported, I am persuaded that he has what it takes to be a successful actor.

  1. I think it a based on the movie and not the actor. I am a fan of Adam Sandler but I have seen him play a few disappointing roles. This movie happened to have two really good actors in it so I assumed it would be a box office hit.
