I think this article about this wealthy family is very confusing. What can we do about it? [Signed User:#1]
I agree! This is a list of what I think should be done:
Make the lead shorter.
Put the sections in chronological order. I don't know what order they are in now!
Make it clear what the relation of all these family members are.
Include family member birth dates where appropriate.
What do you think? [Signed User:#2]
I wrote this article and I thought it was fine like it is, except for spelling mistakes. But I'm beginning to see your point. [Signed User:#3]
I think the chronological order should be as I have it numbered below:
The parents meet and are married and slip deep into poverty.
The children are born and inherit the fortune from the uncle who hated the brother.
The widowed aunt bribes authorities and gets legal guardianship of the children and moves to England.
The children come of age and move back to Argentina.
The parents win the lottery.
The children are embarrassed by the parents being so "nouveau rich" and move back to England. The parents follow them back and become famous.
How does that sound? [Signed User:#1]
OK, you caught me. I just read a couple articles and got confused myself. Sounds like you read a lot more about this family. Let's do it!! [Signed User:#3]
