Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Appeal to emotion

Using emotional stories or language to persuade the audience.

The article uses the emotional story of LeGrand Gold's terminal illness and his bucket list wish to meet Dolly Parton to engage the reader's emotions.

Provide more factual background on colorectal cancer and the prevalence of bucket lists among terminally ill patients to balance the emotional aspects of the story.

Sensationalism

The use of exciting or shocking stories or language at the expense of accuracy, in order to provoke public interest or excitement.

The title 'Dolly Parton surprises dying fan to help him finish his bucket list' and phrases like 'dreams really do come true' may exaggerate the emotional impact of the story.

Use a more neutral title, such as 'Dolly Parton fulfills fan's wish amid cancer battle'. Avoid overly dramatic language that may sensationalize the personal experience.
