In the reading what was interesting to me is how he said that storytelling begins with how the news effects the viewers. And I like how he compared stories to onions because they have layers He also says that some viewers may watch because of the subject and other because of pictures. In the Pearl Harbor story it starts off with lead information Just in case a viewer does not know what exactly happened during Pearl Harbor. I thought it was interesting how he said that is is the dullest verb in the language. I like how he said right the way you speak and fantasize a conversation with my mom. He tells us to write with an active voice that it forces you to think about what is happening now.

In the article, the introduction uses active voice to catch the readers attention. It also has a bit of controversy As well as surprises us a little when it says Why in the world would he give the money back. It uses the "how to defeat the TV remote control "method even though it is an article Because the story builds more and more which keeps the reader wanting to keep reading. It also uses a bit "wright in threes "when it says " they look so much alike, and play so much a like "Even though it's not exactly 3 words it still stays in the mind

In the football story it uses "how to defeat the TV remote "because it doesn't jump right into the story it also uses surprise. It also uses surprise when he tells us about how many sons the couple has, and how long they have been going to football games and finally how emotional it was for them to be at the last football game. It also uses active voice throughout the whole story. The reporter also adds of some controversy when he asks the mom if there is any positive side of not having any kids, And we expect the mom to say yes but she ends up saying no. Throughout the whole piece there was no use of "wright in threes ".
