I think this is a strong opinion piece because it gives a very detailed list and looks back at past events that help portray the point.

    This is the article I chose that I thought had a strong opinion. This article goes straight to the point and tells you the problem with Graft in south Africa.

    I agree that this is a strong opinion piece. I think the list format was a good way to organize his hey points. I also like how he personalizes the article by sharing his own college stories--it makes it easy for readers to relate to him.

    I agree that this a strong opinion piece. I think that the list format is helpful when organizing the opinions of the writer. In addition, the use of more personal words helps draw the reader in and it makes the article not as serious as a regular news story

Who Cares and Why? (Madeline Arcaro)

For most news pieces, there's a specific audience and niche market that the author feels the story is most valuable and appropriate for. The first piece I chose is "Tom Petty died of accidental drug overdose, coroner and family say" by Daniel Arkin and Andrew Blankstein. ( Read it  here  ) This story is kind of a big deal, as the original cause of death by singer Tom Petty was unknown. Petty was a worldwide phenomenon, and his death took the entire world by storm. This article was meant for lovers of music, especially rock, who cared about Petty as a singer and especially as a person. The people who did care about him want to know the cause of death and inside stories from family members and friends. The second piece I chose is "Women's March 2018: Protesters Take to the Streets for the Second Straight Year" by The New York Times ( Read it  here  ). This article is about the Women's Marches all over the world, protesting some things that President Tr...

who cares and why?

I think the article " Early Betting Favors the Underdog Eagles in Super Bowl ", would interest a lot of people. With 111.9 million people watching, the super bowl is a tradition in america, and Even people who aren't regular football watchers would like this article. It goes in depth about how people are predicting that the Eagles are going to win the super bowl, even though they have they don't have their starting quarter back Carson Wentz, Their back up, Nick Foles, made a statement with his game against the vikings where he  completed 26 of 33 passes for 352 yards (10.7 YPA), three touchdowns, no picks, and a 141.4 passer rating. These are the best stats a quarterback has had against eh vikings all season. In addition, with dominate running backs, Lagarrette Blount and Jay Ajayi throwing around the vikings defensive lineman and linebackers. The patriots are going to have a hard time stopping the run up the middle. These key points are why people are betting against...
