What usually catches my eye within articles are the headlines. Why is this the case? What makes a headline so enticing and question raising? Journalists have multiple strategies to accomplish this goal, a common rhetorical strategy is cliches. For example, “cat got your tongue”, which could be used to mimic a current event (Hayden). As you read through a newspaper it seems that most main paper headlines have a cliche or a metaphor, but after that the smaller articles tend to have more simple titles with less creativity included. Sometimes titles can actually be really funny or clever and that’s what I love.
