This article was written by Hayley Richardson
The word choice in this article is comedic and laid back, due to the not-so-serious nature of the piece. The author's diction reflects this, as it seems she does not really care about what she is reporting, simply that it gives her something interesting that people will read to post. Richardson makes a lot of funny quips throughout the article, turning what could have been a boring article about Google search data into an entertaining-to-read story about familial issues. Richardson writes with an amused and comic tone, telling jokes to her audience and making them feel comfortable reading the piece. This tone sets in stone the nature of the subject of the article. The purpose of this article is to inform readers of something they've probably thought about before, but not quite cared enough to actually do any research for themselves. The article appeals to logic and emotions, as the subject of familial issues or doubt is one that is contained within basically every person, Secretly thinking your loved ones or friends dislike you is a thought everyone has had at one point or another. The comedic portions of the piece appeal to our emotions as well.
