The article does a good job at describing numbers and giving exact examples to back up what he is saying. He breaks down the article into subtopics which helps divide the information for the reader to better understand, or be able to find exactly what they are looking for in the article. I like these parts of the article, as it is a good representation of what I hope to do &#8212; the visual pairing with the information and broken down in a way that is easy to read. However, there are ways in which the article is less successful. The author almost uses quotes and information too much, to the point where it is more general information rather than to the point. The article is a way of putting information together to make it easier for the reader, instead of to the point and an easy read. The article is wordy, however that is not a bad thing with the magnitude of information being represented. I believe they did a good job at presenting important information that matters, however I will be trying to find a balance. It will take practice, however I do believe it is able to be achieved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The article I chose was one written by the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0 regarding the black lives matter movement, and the breakdown of numbers and the protesting in general.\u00a0I believe this sample works, and it does not.
