Commentary on Ismael Alvarez's Original commentary #2 (Blog stage 8)
In Ishmael Alvarez's America Forward blog, his stage 7 commentary covers the controversy of the US governments involvement in Puerto Rico. The assignment was to write an original editorial or commentary about U.S. national government. Ishmael's blog clearly made commentary toward the US government by telling us to not lose sight of the people we are ignoring.
Ishmael makes it clear that “Volunteers are tired." He makes a good point by asking "Where's our government in Puerto Rico?” along with Dr. Jennifer McQuade. Ishmael does a good job of explaining how the U.S has greatly lacked in providing assistance to Puerto Rico’s affected citizens.
Ishmael describes the article clearly. Dr. McQuade cries out to the government for assistance by saying, “To be honest, I'm tired. We are all tired. This is not the job of volunteers or donors. These are American citizens who are suffering. This is the job of our government.”
This commentary was well written and answered the question and all its components. In my opinion, I completely side with Ishmaels' opinion. Volunteers have limited amount of resources, but the government does not. Instead, the government has many resources. Help from the U.S. government will greatly speed up the recovery of Puerto Rico.
Both Ishmael and I know that the government quickly rushed to help the citizens affected by hurricane Harvey on the east coast of Texas. But the U.S. territory Puerto Rico received no such attention. Puerto Rico, in Ishmaels' and my opinion, deserves as much priority as the states in the country. Just because Trump visited Puerto Rico and threw paper towels at them like a basketball player doesn’t mean the government has helped. We are mistreating our citizens rather than helping.
Ishmael does a good job addressing all the issues that were required of him in the stage 7 assignment and clearly states his opinion about the U.S. government.
