LEADS MIDDLES ENDS
This assignment was all about how to write a bomb AF story
LEADS- A lot of people like to start a piece of writing with a story or a summery of what the who piece will be about. They also start with some basic information to get the story going and to makes sure that the reader doesn't stop there. This is also usually the place where you introduce characters and how old they are or where they live. A good lead makes a good story.
MIDDLES- Stories that are one sided and very boring and no one wants to read them. The middle paragraph is where you can expand on what you are thinking. you don't want to bring it in to early or too late so this is why you do it in the middle.
END- The most common mistakes about endings is that it has to end with a bang. If you do, do that then you have to spend the whole story setting it up. One way that an ending can be written is to prove a point, so basically prove that you are right, But don't forget to b ring in both sides.
I’m not sure you have to do that. I think that as long as you hold the reader’s attention until you get to that information, it’s all right to bury it a little further down.
this really stuck with me because I believe that this is basically the whole point of a lead and if you have any questions this will answer it.
Burnett, the eldest at 17, walking up Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn, and singing out Mohammed Ali rhymes into the chilly air.
In the lead paragraph it said that you should state who they are and where they live I believe that this is a perfect example of this.
“I’m going to push some dirt around here, I’ve dug lots of other holes in my life, but I’ve never done one like this.”
this stuck with me because it was very funny and I laughed out loud
So I suggest that if anyone should ever get an opportunity to see whatever his name was again in the buff, maybe they want to grab that chain and run with it.
love this because #sass #queen #lit this also made me laugh out loud
It’s a great ending, right? It’s a great ending.
this is basically how I feel about this assignment.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED

Story quetsions
1. The significance of this story was to show how the bot lived his daily life and about how much the girl knew about him. Also how you can love at a young age. The story is told as if the little girl is telling it and she only talks about the little boy.
2. The main character the little boy is the main character but is never the narrative. This all about what the girls thinks about him and his life so this might be different from if the boy was telling it because he might have different opinions on what he does.
3.The writer includes all of her questions within the article to give contexts. She also makes it seem like she is a 10 year old girl who is in love with this boy. Or thats what I thought at first. She also followed him throughout the day as apposed to a lifetime or a longer period of time.
4. The writer most likely used a few sources such as school people, parents, friends and possible others that see him throughout the day. As I said earlier she included her questions within the story to give context.
5. She asked "who is the most important women in the world" he said "none I Don't know
"I have a lot of girlfriends", "but I don't remember their names she probably asked something along the lines of what do you think about girls.

David Bowie
David Bowie was a great musician and influencer. He should be remembered by the way he moved people through his music and actions. His life was full of many up and downs that inspired people on the daily. He had a colorful lifestyle and was loved by many. He definitely left his mark on society with his quirky personality and will be missed. RIP
I initially read David Bowie, then I read the articles about Glenn Frey and Alan Rickman. All of the stories started off with the base of what they are known for or their big accomplishments in life. And also how they died and what age.They would all then go on to explain in more detail how things accord in the order they happened. It all was written in a sweet way with no negative comments.

Tell Readers A Good Story
1. Hawthorne offers this premise for the chapter: "We're not collecting data. We want to tell stories." How does he suggest reporters go about realizing this objective?
Hawthorne is all about a good story and he states in his chapter that you will accomplish a good story by a following a certain curriculum to achieve the bets result. This process consist of many steps, the first one being that when you began a story you ask yourself "what is this story really about" all stories that are written have an overall theme. This theme doesn't have to be a big message but just one sentence will do. Now you could say the theme of your story is soccer. But thats not a theme, it might be the start to the theme but not the whole theme. What about soccer really sticks out? That would be the theme. Going back to the first thing Hawthorne said "we're not collecting data. We want to tell stories" data is good for many things like a biography but not for a good story that catches readers attention. Any story has the potential to be great, it just depends on the way you present it.
2. On page 41, Hawthorne says that you shouldn't write stories that are the metaphorical equivalent of microwave popcorn. For the rest of the chapter, he presents his recipe to cook up a much more delicious, satisfying story. What is his complete recipe for writing an excellent story?
Popcorn is ready to go in 90 seconds, but thats not how long you want the reader to look at your story before they get bored and move on to the next one. The recipe that Hawthorne has come up with will help the reader stay engaged and overall enjoy the piece. Literary Devices are always good to include in your story because it will entertain your reader throughout the story without boring them. The second ingredient to a great story is drama. All sorts of drama works it just all depends on the reader and the audience you're reaching out too. With drama come characters, each person has a unique story and you should try to include it in yours. Conflict can e found anywhere whether its kids fighting over a piece of candy or two countries fighting over land. Either way its always engages the reader and keeps them on the edge of their seat. You might be thinking, how do you produce conflict or drama in my story? Well dialogue can help you create any type of situation within your story. It can create a tone or just a interesting topic. The next thing for wonderful story is something that can be found anywhere. Even the first sentence;Anticipation. This could be the first thing the reader sees which would encourage them to continue on and see what else your story has in-store. Somewhere in your story you need a climax which is the high point of the story, or in other word the main event. This is what the reader has been looking for the whole time. Most stories end in a cliff hanger, although the this can be interesting, this can also be frustrating to the reader. You try to at least almost solve the problem with a resolution. This would be the last ingredient that would complete the recipe to a fabulous story.
