6. ON THE GROUND: SHOTS



The New Yorker writer Lizzie Widdicombe wrote an article to inform the audience about the shooting in the Empire State building. Also to emphasize that the two people who want to be president; Obama and Mitt Romney, should do something about the guns that are out to the public. Widdicombe starts the article by showing that the killing at the Empire State Building, happened after the Killing of Aurora and the killing of nineteen people in Chicago the night before. She states that it’s absurd that a man can kill so many people just because he was fired. Widdicombe provides many evidences of people who were, in or out of the Empire State Building at the time of the shooting. She also shows that Mayor Bloomberg was very concerned with what has been going on and said, "I ask everyone to keep the victims in their thoughts and prayers." Finally she ends her article stating how the Mayor criticized both President Obama and Mitt Romney because they have the gun problem out of control. She clearly shows how she agrees with the WOR radio, when she shows a very good point made by them saying, "Maybe it's time that the two people who want to be President of the United States stand up and tell us what they are going to do about it, because this is obviously a problem across the country."

In this article Widdicombe not only wants’ to inform readers that people operating guns and the killings are out of control, but she also wants’ to enlighten the readers, showing that two people who want to be President of the United States aren't doing anything about this, but should begin. Lastly in this article Widdicombe wants’ to construe in a very concerned tone, saying that know a day’s killing has become more often than ever, and it needs to stop.
