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 />
