There is a Wal-Mart coming to Dallas. 20 acres have been bought for the placing for this Wal-Mart. This Wal-Mart won't be as bog as a supercenter, it'll just be the Neighborhood Markets, which only have food and basic merchandise.
I can connect to this because I live about five minutes away from where they are going to build this Wal-Mart. Grocery stores near this upcoming Wal-Mart are going to lose a lot of employers and business. This Wal-Mart is going to affect Dallas greatly.
This doesn't really apply to anything I'm doing in my classes.
I feel like they shouldn't build this Wal-Mart. This is going to cause grocery stores in my community to lose employers and business, although it will gain 90 more employers at Wal-Mart. This won't really affect me until I get a job, but it will affect some of the people I know because they work at the Ingles and Food Lion right near where they're building this new Wal-Mart.
How does the structure of the text refine and support the author’s claim? Use evidence from the selection to support your answer.
- The structure of the text is set up to where it's simple to read and understand. It also uses quotes from officials, such as "“It’s really hard to say,” Palenick said. “We have a large Ingles grocery store in town and a Food Lion, so we already have several aspects of the grocery market covered. But we’re going to reserve judgment for now.” This makes the article legit and believable.
