Personally before reading this, I was aware that there are issues with water supply. Even sitting in my Geology class the professor always stresses the importance of water supply. I just do not understand that if a reporter went this far to make a documentary and an article to cause awareness for places like Jordan, then why hasnt ENOUGH been done to help people who are less fortunate?? I know that USA is a rich country and that we try to do our best, and there are rich people who could donate money for resources or research, but why hasnt running water with a large supply been a natural and easy access for others like it is for us?. It is sad to think that something that we do take for granted is so precious to others. I really would love to find a way to help out more or make a difference. thank you for posting this article!! sarah Wow, when i saw this post i felt awful.

I think it is safe to say that Miller definitely captures the local point of view. It is very effective that she writes from first-hand experience in Jordan. It is evident through the details of her work that she really knows what she is talking about. Also important is that Miller, and the other girls, actually have something invested in this story. There is a purpose to the article--to spread awareness of this problem in Jordan and to get help for it. Great choice! This was a great article!
