“We all suffer three deaths,” Esparza recalls her mother telling her. “The first death is the day we give our last breath or the day that we die. The second death is the day that we’re buried, never to be seen on the face of the Earth again. The third, most dreaded death of all, is to be forgotten.”
Golden line because I feel that this is an important thing to know or consider on "the Day of the Dead."
Now, altars and ofrendas have gone beyond the traditional, becoming a medium that can express much more than the personal connection one may have with the deceased.
To my interpretation of this passage, people are taking altars and ofrendas more personally. They act as a "medium" in the sense that they connect people to the deceased.
There is an altar for women’s reproductive health, women who have lost the battle to breast cancer, and another touching on the topic of miscarriages. And there are altars dedicated to immigration.
Goes to show the vast array of options to that you can dedicate an altar.
But it was very rewarding that the people who had been working on that project wanted to be authentic, they really wanted to get it right
This section of the article got me to recalibrate why people take Día de Los Muertos seriously and personally.
“fluid nature of it,”
Subject to change.
discussions arising at a moment when the nature of monuments, the processes by which they are built, and the histories they choose to honor are all in question.
Golden line because it marks the thesis of the story.
the term applied to a person who has fried his brain on the altar of weed. H.L. “Bill” Richardson of Arcadia is a state senator from the 25th District and has been in the California Legislature since 1967.
original as fuck
“We weren’t violent before, but we are now,” a middle-aged White man said, talking into his cellphone. “There’s no going back.”
A good way to finalize the article with an inspirational quote.
Some called her a “martyr.”
If that woman is a martyr, then who are the other 3 people that got killed? Or is it just that more people saw and got to experience her final moments over the others... which wouldn't make that much sense considering it's a raid.
But not since the British set fire to the Capitol in 1814 has a mob overrun the ultimate symbol of American freedom.
And to counter that with Americans being so free that they can storm into a capital by a former president's say so.
“This is not dissent. It’s disorder. It’s chaos,” he said. “It borders on sedition, and it must end now.”
Ironic coming from the President of a country that allows free speech and public distaste, even if it means to overthrow the government.
pro-Trump demonstrators
Using the word "demonstrators" to emphasize how the authors feel about Trump supporters. It also helps to know that the Washington Post predominantly endorses democrats. I also got a hint of this when they used the word "incendiary" to describe Trump's language.
By day’s end, four people would be dead: one from gunfire and three from medical emergencies that officials have yet to explain.
Ensuring that the deaths are not going unaccounted for. It's important to bring up that with the whole ACAB phenomenon that's been going on that it's no wonder they made the woman who got shot by police as part of the title, when 3 other people died. It's not a competition. I can't tell if they're trying to stir up controversy or if they're simply just adding relevance to their story. Either way, it makes the story more newsworthy.
police warned.All 1,100 members of the D.C. National Guard were activated, and Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) imposed a citywide curfew.
It's important to list labels because these are people of high ranking and status. Them being involved in something so drastic is significant because people who know them would express more interest.
told a sprawling crowd outside the White House that they should never accept defeat, hundreds of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in what amounted to an attempted coup that they hoped would overturn the election he lost. In the chaos, law enforcement officials said, one woman was shot and killed by Capitol Police.
This paragraph pretty much sums up the major points of this article. It is structured in a way that readers can understand the main concept of the story before diving into the details.
The mob had arrived hours earlier, charging past the metal barricades on the property’s outer edge. Hundreds, then thousands followed them. Some scaled the Capitol’s walls to reach entrances; others climbed over one another.
Again, forming those main points and not leaving out the important details because they are what makes a good story.
A rioter’s face is seen through the broken glass door of the House chamber as security agents point their weapons at him. Lawmakers were evacuated shortly before an armed standoff at the chamber’s entrance.
The image helps clarify the story better by giving a visual representation of some of the lengths people would go to during the raid. Officials pointing guns at civilians is a big deal.
As President Trump
Starting the story off with a well known figure to captivate readers interests.

A large video right below the headline to show readers what they're in for.

They made some major points in the headline to indicate how important the event is.
It attempts tocontrol thinking and action, leads women and men to adjust to theworld, and inhibits their creative power.
It's hard to be successful solely off of creativity and this would explain it. Creative jobs are like a hit or miss whereas jobs that contain oppressive, mental security are always the financially stable way to go.

if we rather think of safety as knowing howto cope in situations of risk, then we open up the possibility thatwe can be safe even in situations where there is disagreementand even confl ict.
The conclusion is very illuminating. Everyone take a risk when doing things such as driving a car or taking the bus. Without that transportation, nobody would get to where they want to be. Risks are what lead to a positive or negative outcome depending on the type of risk. Doing nothing and remaining stagnant is a guaranteed fail. That whole concept is hypothetical to the text.
