I like this article because it's very relevant to every reader assuming they have internet. The author has included one picture with a funny caption. It's a broad topic and the author goes through opinions, points, facts, and ideas in a logical manner. No matter what the idea is it still leads back to the main idea. Great example of the engines tip.


I want to write something more humorous yet still have a purpose like this one. It's talking about a serious problem but with a light connotation. The author states his opinion clearly and backs it up with facts and logic.


This article talks about a very unique issue, reverse parking. In my article I want to write about something that hasn't been talked about a lot, or is just plain bizarre. One thing that bugs me a lot is when things become cliche', drives me nuts.

This interview has a short intro paragraph giving the reader context to what they were talking about and the rest is setup with his questions italicized and her answers in normal text. He ends with a funny line. The interview itself is interesting enough to fill the piece, but the paragraph style answer and question makes it read more like a story.



This actually reads more like an interview but in the beginning they mention some of colbert's achievements and information about him. And it ends with a question about the future. The Author also has pictures to related topics they're talking about in the piece.

What have you read lately (say, since last semester), that you found interesting?
I mostly read things science-related. New findings, and things for brandon's bio engineering team.

Why did it catch your attention?
Science is what I enjoy the most, what interests me the most, and is what I am best at. I also want a position in the bio pharmaceutical industry as a possible career path.
