For each entry, include the following as the TITLE

1) the title of the news article (in quotation marks);

2) the author of the article if one is listed (Associated Press & Reuters count as authors);

3) where you read the story (eg: New York Times online), in italics;

4) The URL of the story if you read it online; the page number(s) if you read it in print;

5) the date the story was published (and if you read it on line, the time you consulted it).

At the end of the summary, write your name!

 

 

Thesis:

               Americans should care about the bombings in Baghdad because they too know what it is like to not feel safe in their own home, and that is what the people in Baghdad are going through.

Throughout Baghdad there are many different kinds of bombings (car, suicide, ect.) that happen all the time. Many of the Kids find there entertainment by trying to get the reporters attention. They play with the blown up parts posing for the camera. They know that, that’s the only way to get their attention. The kids learn from the adults, the policemen ask for their photos to be taken. In the article it is reported that the police colonel in Falluja was posing and smiling for a picture while he was holding a photo of someone’s decapitated head in a bucket.

            One leader for the largest Sunni Arabic bloc are hinting that they might go against the leading proposal that will allow American troops to stay in Iraq till 2011, this would then make it difficult for the Shiite-led government to gain its power. The different groups in Iraq can’t agree and if the plan does not go through by December 31 American troops will go back to their bases and let Iraq figure it out on their own. The U.S. thinks that the plan will go through because of all of the bombings that have been happening that have caused so many deaths.

Hmm, I see the logic here, but if we should care because we know how it feels, what is the benefit to anyone? ie: we care; so what? You could refine this a little more to explain what might happen as a result of our caring. See how that works? If you have already drafted the paper, this is probably a revising issue so don't stress!

ps: these summaries are really short. Do you have enough information to work with? If not, try making the summaries about three times as long as they are and including more of the information in the article
