Lesson #6 Teenage Smoking

#1. The writer chose to introduce this article by giving an example of a teenager who was caught smoking and the penalty for doing it. The author chose to do this because he wanted to show readers an example of a smoking habit and what happens in return of doing it.

#2. The author used a statistic about teen smoking in paragraph two to show that the government is talking it seriously to stop teen smvoking. They want to tell the teens to stop and give them a reason as to why to do it.

#3. The writer helps us understand the meaning of incredulous by telling us what a bad and ridiculous thing Randall did which is the definition of incredulous.

#4. The author dedicated a paragraph saying what happens in smoking court to show readers how serious smoking is and all the confusion you can cause. Also maybe to let readers get an idea of what a smoking court is like.

#5. The effect by including two quotes from teen smokers is to tell smokers what other teen smokers are doing and to make a change in the way they chose to do things.

I would say that the author should use a problem and solution chart because she listed the problems that are occuring and ways that people are trying to fix it.
