Facts/ truths
Observed
|
Agreed upon reality.
Concrete data.
|
“… this was a really dark night and these sounds were coming from
pretty deep in the thick forest accessed only by not well traveled logging
roads and from at least 3 different sources that for the life of me, sounded
like they were communicating so I ruled out gunshots”
|
To the author it is a fact that these were not gun shots because of
the observed facts in the quote.
|
|
Presence
Space
|
Drawing attention to premises.
Making it feel close.
|
“…very close to the fire, maybe 30ft.”
“… another answered the first from across the clearing we were camped
in directly behind me”
“those grunting noises were definitely close”
|
Using distance to make the sasquatch feel close.
|
|
Metaphor
|
Analogy where theme and phoros are condensed into a phrase.
|
“It was dark brown or black and uniform in color and at least 8ft to
9ft tall and moving like a freight train, it was huge!”
|
The bigfoot was so large and fast that it seemed to cross the road
like a freight train.
|
|
Waste
|
If sacrifices were made in service of a task, it must not be stopped
now.
|
“I decided to stay at camp and hope for something to happen”
“I again decided to stay up”
“I climbed the small incline that it had come down to investigate and
after 30 min or so”
|
The author sacrificed time, experiences with his friends and sleep to
find evidence of Bigfoot, so because of his previous sacrifices, he mustn’t stop
now.
|
|
Hierarchically arranged
|
Example linked to double hierarchy of multiple events/concepts.
|
“there are several stories that quite frankly were the reason that we
went to this area to begin with”
|
The overall event links to events that happened in the past that were
heard by the author. These past events inspired the author to explore this
area.

Your article seems interesting, I'm excited for your presentation! You have you a lot to work with and it seems like it all revolves around "stupidity" from the reporters. Everything that you have focuses on being ignorant in the situation and assuming things are the way they want them to be in the situation. I feel like everything really stems from them wanting Bigfoot to be out there, and unsurprisingly they see a Bigfoot...that seems fishy to me. You have a lot to focus on with this but I think the question you could also answer is why are they doing this? Why do they want to see a Bigfoot so bad? I think with these questions you'll be able to expand your argument.
