D#2, HW#5, Analyzing

When I look back on my writing project of the past I always tended to over think them and that would make for pressing deadlines. I know right now I am doing a lot in very little time and I also keep thinking my work is suffering because of it. On the other hand I do not have as much time to over think things and who knows maybe it is better this waqy only time will tell.

Time:
Purpose:
Stress in schools has always been there but it seems in recent years after Columbine and other school shootings it is in the media much more.
Audience:
In the past, like when I was in high school, the biggest cause of stress I can remember was if I would get a date to prom, now kids have to worry about being shot, to much home work, and a lot of other problems.
Context:
As I said before in my past I did not have much to worry about it is mainly in the present and the future when my kidsget older and in schools, will I get a call one day they were shot by a stressed out student, or will they be that student.

Space:
Purpose:
While on a grand scale I doubt my little project will be noticed by many, I do hope though that the few who do read it learn from the past to avoid another tragedy in the future.
Audience:
People can take what they learn and learn to look for the warning signs of stress in students.
Context:
Since there was a shooting at a school so recently there is currently an abundance of resources to look at and read on the topic.
