Madelyn,
ReplyDeleteOverall I think all your articles that you found were good and point out very important issues in that specific area of Florida. I think it is crazy that Bradenton is the 4th deadliest city for pedestrians just from car accidents, thats scary. However, I think that in all your small paragraphs, you could've expanded a little bit on who had the problem and who has it, even though it may be quite clear from just reading it, trying to expand on who has the problem could help you with identifying more problems in society.
