DIFFERENT PEOPLE, DIFFERENT USES<br />

Name:<br />

One article might have different meanings to different people. For example, a newspaper article about the<br />

attack on the Pentagon would be meaningful to several people, but in very different ways. To a relative<br />

of a defence employee, the article would be a source of information about his or her relative’s final<br />

moments. To a rescue worker, the article could be a source of pride or recognition of her good work in<br />

saving many people from the burning building.<br />

For each type of person below, write how the person might view or use the information from this book<br />

about attacks.<br />

(a) A child living in Boston, USA, in 1770.<br />

(c) A Japanese tourist in Hawaii, USA, today.<br />

(e) A student attending Kent State University, Kent, USA, in 1970.<br />

WHO ELSE?<br />

(b) A reporter working in Sarajevo, Bosnia and<br />

Herzegovina, today.<br />

(d) A firefighter living in Sydney, Australia, on<br />

11 September 2001.<br />
