1.State the purpose of the article- what was the writer trying to do when he/she wrote it? Persuade you think something? Inform you about something? Why do you think this?
2.What does the article tell you about Brooklyn cops? Bullet point at least 3 things.
3.What evidence is provided to back up each of these point made about Brooklyn cops (use your 3 points from the answers above)?
4.What is the writer’s point of view of Brooklyn cops? (does she respect them? Think they do their jobs properly? Does she think life is difficult for them?)
5.How is this point of view clearly shown ( Quote and comment on at least 3 aspects of language here and explain them fully) i.e.
‘with his brethren loitering’. Word-choice of ‘loitering’ has a denotation of standing around with no apparent purpose. Connotations of 'loitering' are laziness, being ‘up to no good’. This tells us that the writer thinks Brooklyn cops are idle and not doing their jobs properly.
6. How did the article make you feel about police in Brooklyn?
