How to spot a pedophile

The writer Maddox uses comedic writing to draw the reader in and to keep them entertained. The article I am writing about is about his thoughts on pedophile detection; it is called How to Spot a Pedophile. He opens up his in his first sentence saying: “Ever see a guy at work or school who sends off creepy vibes, and you say to yourself, ‘man, I know that guy rapes children’?” His rude and dirty sense of humor, are some of the things that make people angry, and complain about his various writings; but at the same time it draws many readers to his writings. Even though he makes harsh judgments, I like the way he expresses himself when talking about subjects such as this. I was really surprised when I saw the way his writing was actually reader interactive. He lines up faces in the suspect column, and next to the faces there is a yes or a no column. This was used for the reader to indicate their opinion if the person is a pedophile or not. The “suspects” were wanted murderers, politicians, or actual pedophiles. After the answers are submitted, immediately it is seen who is actually a pedophile or whatever they might be. This next page also provides the suspects information and their crime. It is interesting how the internet can change the styles and methods of writing. Here it is seen that the reader gets to be involved, with the topic and also instant results are seen.
