U.S Will Enforce Marijuana Laws, State Vote Aside
This article is about California's Propostition 19 which is basically
the law they will pass if majority of population votes yes. According to the article
even if the law is passed, the federal government plans on continuing to enforce
the law.
I believe the lead is good for the story. Not only does it sum up
the entire story in two sentences but it makes readers want to
read. The meer mention of marijuana and the legalization is
enough human interest to make people want to read about it.
In the article the governor of California Arnold S., the attorney general,
The Los Angeles County Sheriff, and some political consultants. I think
these sources were necessities while writing this story. They are main parts
of the laws and the police officers who deal with those who are arrested
because of marijuana. I think they could add some of the people of California.
By doing this, I think it makes it more human interest and less politics.
People who read the story need to know how they would be effected and by adding
people opinions they are able to relate.
I think in the article they should talk about how if California how it will cause
conflict in other states being that some people from other states may also want
the law to be passed.
Human Interest, Proximity and Prominence were used in the story. The conflict between
whether marijuana should be passed or not shows emotion between the people
who believe it should and those who do not. Proximity because people want to hear about it right now. Prominence because marijuana is a popular drug that people hear about.
I chose to read and write about this article because I feel like in my generation
marijuana has become widely popular. The teens can not understand how something
like cigarettes cause lung cancer and are sold but the government is anti-marijuana.
I am interested in how the government plans on justifying why and what is this the difference.
