It allowed you be like "oh okay, I get who this is" instead of being confused. The other one was entirely too long and i honestly did not want to continue reading the story because it was just to much going on to want to read in the first place.

Feature Writing

  You always want to include your leads with the interesting stuff and pizzazz to pretty much reel the reader into your story. It is also good to give the reader a misleading direction of where the story is going to end up. It catches their eye to want to continue reading. However as they read the story you tend to buzz off and go into another direction and as they get confused, out of nowhere you direct back to what you were talking about in the beginning. Then you have another method of writing the lead which is just directing. This meaning you start with a very interesting lead that continues on the same subject. Sometimes your lead could be like a movie preview with various parts of what is going to happen within the story to get your attention and make you really want to read the story. Leads like that would most likely be the one to catch a readers eye and make them want to continue.
  The middle of your story is just the time for you to go into a further detail of what is going on. In the beginning you hint around on what your are going to talk about and then the middle allows you put the reader unto to the edge of their seat like a really interesting movie. Have their mouths gaped open and shocked and adrenaline umping all over the place drooling almost. You let them have it, no time for holding it back. Do not and I repeat DO NOT sugar coat anything, spill all of the tea and make another batch to spill more. This is your opportunity to show the readers who you really are and what kind of writer you are.
  Now the part that gets really interesting is the ending. This is the big bang with a wrap. You still have the readers attention but its time to go. You have made it this far, no need to give up now, you are on top and don't allow your reading to put you on bottom with a whack ending. Like you did all this other fantastic stuff and then you end all dry is a serious no-no. You summarize and conclude it all with something short and to the point. Never lead the reader on as if there is more to the story when you are obviously coming to a close that's not right at all. At the end of the day this is like a close on a major business deal like it gets that serious. So give it your all and slowly bring it to an end.

1) "People love to be dropped in to something. We’re a movie culture. We like to see scenes play out in front of us. So when in doubt, always paint a picture with a scene to start anything, any story, any lead, any feature story, whatever. Better to start it with a scene than a declarative sentence."

• No person ever wants to gets a story and just blank read. We chose the book for a reason which was for some sort of entertainment not just to read thousands of words and test our reading level. So as a reader like myself when I read a story or something I like to feel as though  I'm there and I get a feel of what they or that group of people feel.

2)"Sometimes it’s what’s left unsaid that resonates more with the reader"

•  If you leave a reader hungry for more that's good on your part meaning you did something good. You left reader wanting to search and find more to your story or even search and personally find you to ask what happens next and will they be more or will is continue or not. Mystery always attracts a person in so many ways. It leaves them on the edge of their seat eagerly waiting for the rest.

Obituaries

   I give my most respects to the family of Andrew Smith. He was a very young man that possibly had a lot coming his way but he taken away before he was able to see those things. He should be mostly missed because he sent a great deal of wins for his team and did a lot period for his members and fans. However, he should be celebrated for what he has done instead of constantly crying over the fact that he is gone. Yes it hurts that he is gone but maybe what he had done is enough for this world and it was time to move on. He had a great life and did great things so that's worth a celebration.

  I read the obituaries of  David Bowie, Andrew Smith And Glenn Frey.  In two of the three readings they were battling with very hard struggles in their lives. Bowie had cancer which we all know is a very difficult thing to recover from no matter how long of a break or healing time to try to give yourself. Now a days times are getting very hard and we may choose to want ti gibe up at times feelings as though we have no one to turn to for help or even a hug. Frey was battling with a lot of difficult things and health issues. He tried to stay strong for as long as his body would let him. He left this world with a good name lingering behind him and a great reputation at the end of the day.

Bobby Hawthorne

1. Hawthorne would much rather have his workers come at stories with some facts but more opinonated say in there as well instead of a whole lot of qouates of " he say..." and " she say..". A lot of people get bored and become unintresrested with qoute on qoute saying so they start to tune out the person speaking or just change te channel in general. He just wants to keeo his listeners and viewerws tuned in and  interested with what jhis viewres ate talking aboiut during the time being.

2. As you write a story don't just go at a constant level or stay on the first floor. Like his metaphor, nobody wants to eat the popcorn once it gets cold they throw it away and try again maybe. Well with a story you cant keep the people with reading a story that obviously is not going to go anywhere that's boring so they are not going to read it. Like we do in my house, add some spice and kick to the "popcorn" and i bet you they will read the story until the end. Put the reader on the edge of their seat wanting to skip until the end of the story eagerly wanting to know what happens next instead of waiting. Sp just add a kick and spice and you will be alright
