Amanda Burden Post Response

The article by Amanda Burden was a great one to read for class. It consisted of a great example of what to look for in a feature article.

In the article, one quote states that, “On Ms. Burden’s watch, the Brooklyn waterfront has been transformed from a landscape of derelict industrial structures to one of glossy condominiums and parkland”.  After reading this statement, I felt that I had a better understanding of the amount of dedication and work she must have put forth to have these results publicly admired in the city.  It is clear that Mrs. Burden is a woman with a mission, and is striving to enforce new, but necessary changes for the better improvement of the city.

I admire the work she is doing, and felt that the article did highlight her accomplishments well. It displayed that as a woman working to do good economical things for the city, she has a mission to turn everything around.

She has faced some obstacles but has been demonstrating successfully the plans for re-modeling and production in the city. 

Mrs. Burden has done so much already, and the article appears to be on her side in the matter as well. The writer does a great job in mirroring the opinions of others, and the facts.

The article takes news-worthy information and present in a way that a college student or a subway reader can understand.

I enjoyed this article, thank you for providing us with this assignment.
