Rude 19.1

I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of this document is. It discusses how The Society (a portentous name) uses and gains their funding, and so it seems like they are asking for money or proposing ways to get more money, however, the document never explicitly asks for money or formally makes a proposal. The text's purpose is unclear, but the graphs' purposes are clear. The first pie chart shows where money is spent and is labeled "Expenses." The labeling on the pie chart doesn't is awkward; instead of labeling the pie chart itself, the reader is given a reference number to find in the legend. The chart would be much easier to read if the labels and percentages were given on the chart itself. Also, there is no reason why the legend should not be listed in some kind of order, and greatest to smallest makes the most sense. Because the percentages are given in the table below the chart, the chart doesn't do much good anyway, it could be removed with no loss of information. Also, there is no need to give a total of 100%. It is assumed that all the pieces of a pie chart add up to 100%. The same is true for the second graph. The legend needs to be put in order from greatest to smallest, and the chart needs to be labeled better or gotten rid of. The pie charts have no color. While I believe that black and white pie charts are useless unless there are only three or four slices, I don't think that colorless charts solve that problem. The information is supposed to make sense at first glance, when a reader has to look up a reference number, the graph is not serving it's purpose.
The text is pretty bad at getting to the point. It barely does, and does so at the end of the last paragraph. The text should start with the proposal and purpose of the document instead a common sense description of how committees work. The last paragraph, especially the parts that show the increases in reserves should be moved to the front.
