My article describes a young couple in love, putting off their plans in order to help two children not only find a home, but to give them the love they need.
One line I think is very well-written, is when Krista Ramsey says, "Then the smooth path got rough." This line has a great impact on the reader, particularly because it gets the point across using a short sentence, but has a strong meaning. The writer also uses low/informal diction which makes the quote even easier and more simple to understand, by using words such as, "smooth" and "rough". They author uses complete opposites to show the strong change of emotion within this text and to ensure there is no confusion of the dilemma that occurred.
One thing that specifically stood out to me throughout all of Krista's articles, is she uses creative attention grabbers to keep her audience's attention. Some examples of this is in For better vision, kids need time outdoors, when Ramsey says, "parents claw back the iPhones" as well as in Super Bowl QBs score points for great style, when Ramsey says, "slouch off the field in his cutoff hoodie". She also uses this in Newlyweds spend first year raising groom's twin sisters, when Ramsey says, "Then the smooth path got rough." All of these attention grabbers keep the readers on their toes so the don't get bored.
Three questions I would ask Krista if I had the chance would be:
- How do you come up with the attention grabbers used in your passages?
- How do you decide what stories you choose to write about?
- Do you research much about the topic before you write about it, or do you just write based on the situation alone?
