The lead of this article is that Lindsey Vonn, a former Olympic
champion recovering from two knee injuries, is warning her competitors that she
will be back, and more dominant than ever. The article is written very well, as
it is about famous people, and contains many powerful quotes. I thought the
structure is cool because it pins the story as the underdog overcoming the
injury, and explains Lindsey Vonn’s road to recovery and perseverance. And at
the very end of the article, it brings up Lindsey Vonn’s relationship with
Tiger Woods, someone of even bigger stardom than her. They are dating, so that
made for good celebrity gossip.
The Lead of this article is the response of the Chief of
Secret Service’s response to a man breaking into the white house, successfully
making it past security that clearly should have stopped him. The article does
a good job of reporting factually, and mentions a “fire-back” response from
someone of authority- Stephen Lynch. He gives a powerful quote that adds
conflict to the story. I think this is a powerful story because the American
people want to know that their leader is in protective hands at all times. A quote
from the Chief of Secret Service saying everything will be okay reassures many
Americans.
This is deemed a “science” article about the progress of the Ebola outbreak. The lead states that the outbreak in Nigeria is being
contained, and through powerful quotes from influential people (the president
of the CDC), it achieves the same goal that the second article did. Ebola was a
scary thing for many Americans, and we were all told that we should be worried about
an outbreak. With patients being flown into the United States, the matter now
affected all of us. With news being delivered that the outbreak is possible to
contain, I believe it relieves a lot of Americans.
