Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose it because it is an interesting topic and there is a lot of information to look over in the article. Sleep deprivation matters because it is very common. Kim Kardashian because she is one of the most famous people in the world. West Indian Manatees because they are endangered and need awareness brought to them. My first impression of it was that it was a long article and I did not know there was this much to it.
