Bigfoot P-OT


2 comments:

  1. The author of this story can be pretty confident in what he saw considering how close he was. That’s if he was actually 20 ft away from it like he claims. But if it was a completely unknown creature to him then why would he stay so close to it and not try to leave as quickly as possible? He doesn’t know what it can do or what it’s capable of which makes the reader wonder if his entire story is completely true.

  2. I would also say that repetition is also at play in this article. It seems like he mentions his credibility and his experience several times throughout the article, hoping to lead the audience to believe him as well as the story of his encounter with Bigfoot. We get it, you've spent 8 years of your life obsessed with Bigfoot, we got that the first time.
