Two Introductions
1. How could the text be read and interpreted differently by two different readers? The New York Times article "For women under 30, most births occur outside marriage" written by Jason DeParle and Sabrina Tavernise could be read and interpreted differently by varying audiences. This all depends on things like their age, political beliefs, gender, as well as their personal values and opinions.

Finally there could be more of a variety of style words and literary devices (i.e metaphor, imagery etc.)
