After re-reading this article I noticed a lot more, especially in the first part of the essay. I was able to actually understand all of the background information given at the beginning since I had already read the article once. I was able to learn a lot more about the author and why he was even on this trip with the EA members. I Also noticed that he finished his script which was his initial goal in going on this trip. Another part that really stuck out to me was that many EA members are also associated with other organizations. in fact two members co-founded another organization, Giving What We Can. I looked into this foundation more and found their website – https://www.givingwhatwecan.org . This is an other organization that seems to follow what the EA stands for. According to Southans essay this organization suggests a baseline donation of 10 percent of your income. This is all information that I did not quite grasp onto the first time I read and annotated the essay. Reading it a second time definitely helps to understand more information and I found it to be helpful.
I’m glad you found that second read helpful. Keep up the good work.
