unit 6

In unit 6, it focuses on the topic Invention of the baby snatchers by Walter Kirn in Time Magazine on 26 August 2002. In US the cases of the kidnapping children are increase day by day. Because of this there are a lot of initiative are taken by media to solve this case. These cases sometimes become at the top of national newscasts. Other than that, the way sign was flashes as a part of a special child alert programmer. This program in one of the initiative to decrease the number of kidnapping cases in US. By mass alerts, it has succeeded in bringing home one or two child. Although there are a lot of ways are taken, but kidnapping children has still happen. In the article, the writer advises the parents to be extra careful to their children. Like what the writer writes ‘The fear and confusion unleashed by the abduction stories can’t be express as math’. In the article also, the writer use the cases of children that have missing. For example the writer uses the recent child missing cases where two best friends, Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells on August 4. Then, their bodies have been found 30 km away, and two people were arrested in the connection with the case. In the article the writer wishes that all the public will concern or alert with the issues and also give their help. From my view into this topic, the entire person should play their roles. There are some words that I never know are using in the text. It needs me to open the dictionary to find the meaning. Other that that, I need to read the text many time to understand the massage from the writer. Because in some paragraph in the text has their own massage to the reader.
