In Karlie Fitzsimmons’ blog post, “Decreasing Water Supply”, she describes the dire situation that many people face everyday regarding access to clean water. She uses reasons to feel to persuade her audience that the world is facing a crisis regarding our water supply. I felt that this piece was well written, and I agreed with what she was saying. Her word choice was appropriate for the urgent tone she was trying to set. Fitzsimmons provided a link to a United Nations report which increased the believability of her claims. The only thing that I can think of that would make her blog post better would be to link more articles that solidify her claims. Towards the end of her post, she emphasizes how important it is that the public’s awareness is raised regarding our decreasing supply of fresh water. This rallying cry is very important, and I wished that she had spent more time discussing the ways that awareness could be raised. Maybe through new media, or programs implemented in schools? Overall, I found her article to be well written and while it was to the point, it definitely convinced me. Water shortage is an issue now, and will be an even bigger issue in the near future. Immediate action on a personal level and a government level is crucial.
