The article is about the hunger issue in Alachua County. There are still a lot of people who do not have anything to eat and sadly, a few of the homeless people are even children. Members of a non-profit organization called, “Bread of the Mighty”, explained in the article, that everyone thinks that there has been over the past months an economic growth that leads to an increase of employment, which is according to them not true. The lines of people waiting for food gets every day bigger and they are impressed by its number of children. Workers who volunteer in the non-profit organization could not believe when they saw the number of people that needed food. The problem with this story is that the organization “Bread of the Mighty”, has not enough resources to give everyone as much food as they need. They are also short on volunteers and would love if more people would join their cause. They also made the reader aware that no matter how little money one would donate, every single dollar would make an important impact on someone’s life. 

2.    The title of this article is, ‘Editorial: Be prepared for the next hurricane’, and its link is, https://www.gainesville.com/opinion/20180912/editorial-be-prepared-for-next-hurricane.

The article is about taking the right precautions of hurricanes. Last year during this time, hurricane Irma had a catastrophic impact towards the entire Floridan State and many residents suffered from important house damages. This year, everyone is afraid of hurricane Florence but luckily, it has not taken any course in our direction. On the other side, hurricane Florence is definitely not the only hurricane who we will have to deal with this year. The problem presented in the story is that we were not rightfully prepared for a hurricane last year. According to the article, we were lucky that Irma was not as powerful when it passed towards Florida which reduced the damages. Although the fact that there were still flooding’s on the streets and loss of power in entire areas, proves that if we would have taken better precautions, damages like those would have never happened. Most importantly, the following problem becomes critical for people who live in low-income areas. Their houses are built with cheaper materials which lead to a higher risk of catastrophes in their houses or in their whole neighborhoods.

The article is about the importance of acquiring the flu shot. According to the article, people have been avoiding taking the shot, because of negative experiences with it. Tonnetta Porter, a person who got interviewed, stated that she has not gotten a flu shot in the past four years. After she got it for the first time, her muscles started to hurt, and she became sick afterward. She does not recommend it to anyone and she is not the person who has had the same reactions. A Health infectious disease physician, Dr. Nicole Iovine explains during her interview, that if someone gets the flu after taking the shot is because the flue was already brewing in the system. The flu is already dead when given as a vaccine and people should stop building a negative mind about it since according to her facts, the number of people dying because of it has increased during the past years.

Even though they have distributed over the past years 7.7 million pounds of food, they are aware that the hunger problem is getting from day to day worse.
