NorCal school still closed after pipe bomb attack!

The purpous of this blog is to inform most of the California residents about the incident that occured in northern California at Hillsdale High School in San Mateo on Monday August 24, 2009. The speaker of this blog is a member of The Associated Press. And the speaker does use the appeal of ethos because we as the audience tend to believe in the credibility of what is being explained. Other speakers such as a teacher at Hillsdale, Kennet Santana, 35 is interviewed and also explains what he saw and what happened at the school. San Mateo police Lt. Mike Brunicardi also quotes some events that occured during the insident. The audience of this blog would be high school students and local families for the fact that they want to be informed about the pipe bomb attacks. What I liked about this blog is that it briefly explains how the insident happened and who it was. Eventhough there is no images you can still visualize what occured. And what i found unique about this blog is that this was an incident not caused by an adult, but by a high school student and who could have caused severe injuries to others!
