Nov. 12 - Analyze this article

Mr. Glaros is a Composition Assistant in the English Department here at Kennedy. You will see that he is the reporter on the following story about a counselor at Einstein. Here it is.

Look at the lede. What makes it interesting?

Print this out, get out a colored marker, and circle the places reporter Glaros uses descriptive analogies, comments from others that add to a deeper picture of Monte, active verbs instead of passive verbs (is, was), etc.

Now, write an analysis and answer this question in a critical way that shows you looked at how Mr. Glaros build this story. Why is this a good newspaper feature article?
