Occasion: In this specific article, Kee talks about the alarming epidemic that is occurring currently in Australia. Right now in Australia, there has been this bacteria that is eating human's flesh. This is very surprising, since this is a rare germ in the past. Within recent years, there has been an increase in cases with this bacteria. In 2017, the amount of cases discovered has already been more than normal; this year the numbers of known cases has already surpassed the average. This is alarming, since Kee mentioned that doctors and scientists have still not discovered the cause for this flesh-eating bacteria.

Kee uses a lot of logos, by giving statists about the cases increasing and the horrid damage that the germ can cause.

Subject: The general topic is the epidemic of the flesh-eating bacteria in Australia that is resulting into people becoming disabled and having to spend a lot of money to get rid of the bacteria. I know this since the author makes it super obvious in the title and throughout the article she strictly talks about the bacteria. Kee directly presents her topic and states facts about it.
Tone: Kee 's tone throughout the article is didactic as she constantly states how mentioning facts about the bacteria and talks about the struggles victims have to face, in a hope to get rid of it. Her diction is descriptive, as she uses numerous adjectives for the readers to picture a vivid image of the bacteria on their flesh. If Kee were to read this article out aloud, I feel like she would be speak with a concerning voice of tone and with a purpose to let people know that is serious and dismaying, since she wants to educate individuals about a health-alarming crisis currently happening in Australia.
