Read as I Wright

I imagine you have heard about the Flint Michigan  water crisis, well the article that I read is from VICE NEWS and looks at how the water supply was poisoned and how the people there were left to drink it. But I didn’t read it just any type of way, I Read like a Writer(RLW). The first thing to point out is the title “Smothering the Outcry”, its very obvious the should evoke an emotion out of you regardless of the intended audience. The author wanted a phrase that is eye-catching and will make you upset. The rest of the title has a similar effect and lets you know that the people in this article are victims and were attacked and someone is to blame also the author assumes that anyone reading this article has heard of the Crisis in Flint Michigan. The article we read in the class asked us to analyze the author intent through the process of reading like a writer which involves looking at the structure of an author’s work and making a judgment on the reading. After reading this artle is what clear tat held the local goverment of flint as well as the Governer responsible.
