Purpose
In Valerie Laken's essay, "Separate Kingdom," she takes us into an odinary family and show how they lived their lives in a modern world surrounded by technology. This family consist of three members, Colt as the father, Cheri as the mother and Jack as the son. Colt recently lost his thumb at work from operating a machine. From that he soon realize that he feels like he is growing apart from being human, like he is drifting away from the human kingdom and into the animal kingdom. He felt as if he is in a separate kingdom from his family now that he has lost his thumb. But what he doesn't realize is that he's been in his own kingdom from the start. Colt, Cheri, and Jack, even though they all live under the same roof, they have their own way of enjoying themselves. Colt, normally glued to the TV, Cheri has her Tae-bo, and Jack has his Xbox, separated from each other by technology. All three of them are in their own world, their own kingdom without even realizing it and normally comes together when it feels urgent. Laken's purpose of writing this essay is to show us how technology can separate us, separating us into our own kingdom, destroying the meaning of family.

Controlling purpose/Revised Intro
Old purpose
The purpose of his essay is to show us how information could be destroying our own personal memories from the inside out and what we can do to prevent it from being destroy.
New purpose
The purpose of his essay is to show us that no matter how much shame, how much we may forget, how much information the world may offer us, we must never forget who we are, our own memories, our past experience, all that separates us from the world, by not letting anything come in between them as if they were the world to us.
New introduction
Do you sometimes feel like you have forgotten who you are? According to Charles Baxter's essay, Shame and forgetting in the Information Age, he wrote about how memory has changed over time. As we enter a new age, the information age, a world surrounded by information technology, we tend to lose focus on ourselves, and focus more on information. Not only that, we sometimes let shame and forgetting interfere with our memory. This in the long run, could in fact take away the most important piece of memory that any human being could possibly have, memories that sets us apart from everyone else, memories of our own personal experiences.
