2.Growers Fret Over a New Apple That Won’t Turn Brown

Apples are fruits that everyone enjoys and bites into , and many apple growing industries have been studying how to genetically engineer these apples, by genetically engineering them so that they won't become brown . This would make apples popular with consumers and most likely help increase the sales for apples also making sliced apple more appealing and attractive to sell. But the U.S. Apple Association opposes to this idea stating that even though genetically engineered apples while harmless would still undermine the image of a natural and healthy food. This topic is still over discussion and many wonder what is best.

The author's purpose for this article is to inform us about how looking out for our health is important and is something that matters in our lives, if apples were to be genetically engineered, would it benefit out health or are we doing something that could harm us, he is giving us a chance to wonder if messing with the natural ways of the apple change the image of an healthy natural apple.

  1. -"have been studying how to genetically engineer these apples, by genetically engineering them so that they won't become brown"
    * repetitive- genetically engineering, wordy

    -Somewhere, typically in the first few lines of the post you need to include the author's name and the title of the article.

    -don't write "inform us" instead write inform the reader

    -the second paragraph is just a long sentence. Make it a true paragraph. You also need to provide more evidence and support for the authors purpose and what devices he uses in his article.
