Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
gives us a disturbing picture of "the Big Easy," in which murder is the order of the day and no one seems to care, or to be able to do

audience; anyone who reads the paper or accesses the article on the Internet will learn something from it. The recipients presumably are those for whom the article has a definite
