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
In the first response, you say more about how Hawthorne says how NOT to write a story. How does he say you SHOULD write a story? He doesn't really say that the reporter should insert his opinion. There is a lot more to it than that. Good reference to the popcorn analogy but you don't say how the reporter can add the spice to his popcorn/story. 85
