7. A Bit of Caution Beneath the Thump

The article begins with a rhetorical question that introduces the reader to the topic. The main idea of the article was to describe the Electronic Zoo Festival that happens every year. In the beginning of the article the writer compares this year's festival to the one in 2013. In the past festival some people died because of drug abuse. The writer attended this year's festival and describes how there were preventive measures made to protect the audience. Because of this new security, less people attended the festival. He then goes on to describe how the festival proceeded.  

When describing the festival the writer uses many technical words and names artists who were present. He writes about the specific characteristics of their presentations. He mentions that the festival has happened annually since 2009. By the time he reaches the end of the article the writer seems to have veered off topic. He begins to just describe the festival, the artists, and the music. He no longer mentions the security and cautious measures taken, which was supposed to be the main topic.
