Sarah Koeing is a machiavellian person. She uses Adnan Syed´s case to benefit herself. In the podcast, she presents the facts of his case in the most interesting rather than logical way to get views. Sarah effectively did this by talking about witnesses that ended up leading nowhere, putting weird music in every episode, and always ending an episode on a cliffhanger. She is an evil evil person. Koenig utilized her sources and spoke to witnesses who knew Adnan to gain other perspectives and see if Adnan´s story lined up with the rest to see everything from all angles. She uses the witnesses and the evidence with them to persuade the audience to listen. Mr.s, Asia Maclean, Stephanie, Aisha Pittman, and Don. What do these names have in common? They are the names of people Sarah mentioned in Serial, making them seem like really salient people. She talked about these witnesses for ages on end. All of their stories ended up leading to a dead end. As an example, Mr.S wasn’t important at all to speak about, but she made a whole episode about him and she did not elucidate he wasn´t important until the end. Sarah told us the police already cleared him. Whilst talking about these people she used a form of anachrony; ellipsis. She placed these people out of order and left gaps in between to make …show more content…
This is a form of pathos because it plays with our emotions. In every scary movie ever when you're getting to a major scene they start playing music hinting for you to get ready. In horror movies, the producers use these types of sounds to frighten the audience. Sarah uses this in her podcast for a similar effect. As humans, we take some sounds as scary because our mind has been wired to automatically connect them to danger or major events. We as the audience do this. Paying close attention once her voice lowers and the music starts playing. Waiting for her to expose a

The two were found outside with multiple stab wounds to each person. There were also defensive wounds on Nicole’s hands and arms. In addition to that she had a big hole in her neck where the larynx could be seen.
Sarah Koenig, the host and producer of the popular podcast “Serial” is known for her engaging storytelling style and ability to use rhetorical devices and tools of persuasion to keep listeners interested and invested in the story she is telling. As a journalist and narrative storyteller, Koenig’s goal is to present a well-researched and balanced account of the events she is discussing and to use her skills as a writer and communicator to convey that information in a way that is compelling and engaging to her audience. But what Koenig fails to do is back up her conveyed idea of being a credible authority figure and also fails to provide a large amount of necessary information, while rambling on for unnecessary amounts of time about information that can be easily summed up shorter. Tactics like these show how she receives more listening time, viewership, and money. One technique she employs is the use of rhetorical questions, which allow her to guide the listener's thinking and lead them toward a particular conclusion.
You can conclude that there are many parts in the series where Sarah is biased. It seems that Sarah’s stance on the issue is that she thinks Adnan could be innocent. Sarah uses Ethos throughout the series. By using Ethos Sarah makes the audience decide what’s right
Serial is a true-crime podcast narrated by Sarah Koenig. In this podcast, Koenig goes through the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee, and whether Adnan Syed, Lee’s ex-boyfriend who was convicted of the crime, is guilty of Lee’s murder. As she narrates the podcast, Koenig presents evidence to support both views and offers her opinions as she navigates through the evidence. In the podcast, Koenig’s narration is clearly biased toward Adnan Syed’s innocence. In the podcast, Koenig shows a clear bias towards Adnan Syed’s innocence, as she did not accurately portray Asia McClain’s letters, did not fully evaluate the other potential suspects, did not objectively evaluate Jay Wilds’ witness statement, and had outside influence.
The detectives mainly relied on what Jay Wilds had to say about the day, January 13th,199. The way Sarah is telling the story is affecting the viewers because it would seem what Asia said was true, it seems as jay may have murdered Hae, that Adnan was wrongfully convicted, the case is cold, and she is biased towards Adnan. Viewers
Throughout Serial (a podcast discussing the love story between two teens from Baltimore in the 1990s), Adnan Syed is interviewed by Sarah Koenig as her goal is to find out who really killed Hae Min Lee as she deeply investigates
Sarah not only understands what her father did was entirely wrong, but she also pursues on with her heart and “is going to tell the whole world on what happened to Jerome” pg. 181. Without empathy present, none of this would have happened, and they would have continued to live the same dull lives. Nothing would change and nothing would
Sarah Koenig’s podcast "Serial" utilizes numerous narrative techniques such as foreshadowing, suspense, and the use of "cliffhangers" to further develop the connection between the narrator and the audience and keep the listeners coming back. Sarah Koenig frequently uses cues throughout the podcast to foreshadow information that will be released to the audience later on in the podcast. The narrator uses this narrative technique in the beginning of the podcast, where she plays gloomy music to indicate that something sad will happen. Later in the podcast, the listener comes to the realization that Hae Min Lee has been killed. Another instance of Koenig using foreshadowing in her podcast is when she states that there was no physical evidence, which

Sarah Koening is the host of the podcast Serial, a story that follows the murder of teenage Hae Min Lee and her alleged murderer Adnan Syed. Koening put herself out into the world with the serial podcast in 2014, and once the podcast was finished it ended up being worth twenty-five million dollars. Even though Sarah deliberately says throughout the podcast that she is pursuing this case for her own curious reasons, she really wants us to listen for her own personal gain. She demonstrates this want for fame, money, and views by effectively making the case a narrative rather than an expositive story, through her author's craft and use of rhetorical devices, and her constant use of cliffhangers at the end of each episode.
She studied the facts and interviewed several people from the case. Sarah created a podcast called Serial that discusses the evidence of a possibility that Adnan could be in jail while he is innocent. Except, Adnan's forgetfulness proves he's guilty since the timeline Jay provides also matches the cell phone records. Adnan doesn’t remember anything
