The article that I read was about Krista's experience with vandalism at the Opening day parade. She says that the way you treat the world, and environment, is a reflection of who you are. And that it will rub off on people, especial your children. Is that really how you want your children to act?
The most well written line in this article is in the last paragraph when she says, "So I’m writing this column to say here’s your chance. At the end of the day, you – me, all of us – might do well to pause a minute and consider the view of the world we claim for ourselves and, in getting it, the view of ourselves we leave behind." This line makes the reader stop and think about whether or not they leave behind a positive view of themselves. The author uses good syntax in this line by including dashes to show that it is not just the man who vandalized the flowers that has to think about this, it is everyone that must think about their view of the world, and the world's view of them. The author's use of casual diction really shows her thought on the topic and makes it more believable. Rather than it seeming fake and forced, it flows like it is a conversation and appeals to the readers emotions.
Some questions that I have:
1. Where do you get you inspiration for writing columns about you daily life?
2. What is your experience with education and how has it affected your writing?
3. Why write this article when you know that there is a good chance the man will never see it?
