In this reading I learned that many people find it annoying when it comes to quotations and fixing them can make writing a lot better. The author comments also readers not finding authors who sound rude and ignorant appealing and you are more likely to be looked at as a joke. This is intriguing as we all may easily fall into sounding rude or ignorant so be careful on how we write is key. The authors one fix on having someone listen to you saying your essay out loud will help is a great tip I feel as it would help your own essay as you are more likely to find mistakes and fix them. The question I have on sources is how do we learn how to use them in a short amount of time? As there are many different ways to use sources according to this one writing and how do we become efficient quickly would be the main goal for many.

My intended audience for unit 3 are those who may not see the other side of the picture for why we should not rush into making changes without seeing the repercussions of the change.  Let’s take the example of defunding the police “In Milwaukee, homicides are up 37% so far this year, on pace to break the record of 167 in 1991, which included 16 murders by convicted serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Homicides so far this year in Chicago are ahead of the pace of 2016, which marked the city’s highest tally since 1996. In New York and Los Angeles, which have seen falling numbers of homicides for years, killings this year are up 23% and 11.6%, respectively. Kansas City, Mo., has recorded 99 killings since January, far outpacing any record for the first six months of the year.” (“Police Wrestle With Surge in Crime in U.S. Cities Amid Defunding Efforts” by Julie wernau and Joe Barrett ). This is something I would like to show those who I intend to show my writing to two writers who are reliable on information and go through the research to find out what has been happening throughout the country especially on the larger cities. They show reports of homicides going up in cities and increasing as a alarming rate which is a cry for we need more help from the police instead of trying to defund them which would cause more increase in crimes such as homicides, shootings etc. Milwaukee is on set to break the record for homicides this year which isn’t a good record to break at all rather it is one of the worse things to break. The homicides rates being down let’s us know that the city is becoming safer and this brings ease to everyone in the community but once the rates go up even a little that should be alarming and while a little is bad going up 37% in homicides is horrific and this leads to a lot of chaos and this is a reason to why we shouldn’t defund police. So when looking at it we should try to make change but first seeing how the impacts would be rather not just rushing into it and then seeing consequences we never would wish for.
