Columnist Ahoy #2

My five holiday wishes (and, OK, world peace)

Cepeda's purpose in writing this column is to show the problems going on in Chicago that need to be addressed. She sees this as an opportunity to show the most important issues to her in Chicago at this time. She writes it as a holiday wish list to make it more appropriate for the upcoming holiday season and adds a comedic affect to her column. She accomplishes this goal of incorporating a holiday spirit in her column by having a cheery and playful tone even while discussing the problems in Chicago. She uses words like, "craziness" to have a lighter feeling toward a serious idea.
