Daniel Politi wrote on May 25th, about an attack on a French soldier on patrol near the "western outskirts of Paris." The report stated information about the victim and where he was when the attack happened. The victim was transported to a hospital where he was under treatment, but the incident did not keep the French citizens assured of safety. Politi quoted the Washington Post by saying it "sent a shudder through the French capital." The second paragraph of the article talked more about the criminal, what he was wearing and how he disappeared from the scene. Although the identity and the reason behind the assult was unknown, President Francois Hollande assured the journalists the police were investigating everything.
Politi's purpose in writing this article was to inform everyone, particularly the French people, about the assult. His report about the incident was short, yet contained a lot of information about the issue. This was successfully achieved through the author's objective words to describe the situation. In addition, the short and coherent syntax contributed to the informative approach of the article because it directly stated the facts and the information following each idea had a logical flow that allowed the reader to understand what was going on. Throughout the article, Politi referenced the Washington Post, and Reuters, both of which would be considered as highly respected and credible sources to support his arguments. Furthermore, he alluded to a recent murder of a London soldier and quoted President Francois Hollande's words in order to provide true facts.
