As we have talked about many times before, reaching your audience is important for the life and "grade" of your essay. We have added many elements to them so far to give us a structured essay but now were adding yet another structured element. The element is definitions. When adding definitions to the essay we give it more importance and structure, outlining the ideas for the reader, to give them a better understanding and fluidity to the writing. With this added element the reader will then have a clearer idea as to what the author is writing about or trying to get across.
Article from the New York Times: States Adding Drug Tests as Hurdle for Welfare.

The article discusses why they are doing this, who is doing it and then evidence/results is given on the subject pertaining to the topic. Inside the story we read that many families on welfare had to submit a drug test to the state to continue receiving monthly aid. IF you passed there was no issue, if you failed then you would be put on an abuse hotline and revoked a second chance for a year. If you decided to receive state help for the drug abuse then you could reapply in 6 months. If you happened to fail while having children in your house, you would still be denied aid. It would instead be sent to another family member for use with the children. In conclusion, there are mixed feelings within the government as to whether this is a good time to have this law, due to the hard economic times.
