After reading this article, I understand the automotive crisis in Detroit, Michigan a lot better. In 1919, General Motors developed an institute called General Motors Institute, aimed to offer work experience for students interested in automotives. In 1998 the name was changed to Ketterington Institute. The 2,300 students currently attending are in danger of losing their dream of working for a major car company like GM or Ford. Many still will follow their dream but will come short because of the degree of difficulty to hold a job in the automotive field.
As weeks go by in 2009, hundreds are being laid off by GM and other car companies. The main reason is because of our current recession in our country.
The journalist helped the reader realize how our country is in danger and specifically Detroit and the undergraduates of Kettering Institute. She makes the reader want to know what will happen to these unfortunate students and leads on with many notable facts.
