For the assignment, I used the article “Has the Golden State Gone Bankrupt?” from the SF Chronicle.
The ritual of casual carpooling, in which thousands of East Bay commuters join up with strangers each weekday for swifter trips across the Bay Bridge, thrives thanks to its essential quid pro quo.
This lead answers the following questions:
WHO? Casual commuters on the Bay Bridge
WHAT? It describes what causal commuters are.
WHEN? During commute hours on weekdays.
WHERE? Going across the Bay Bridge on the commuter lanes.
WHY? It’s free.
HOW? Commuters meet up in the morning.
For the second part, I used the feature article, “Putting lives on line for porn.”
A 50-year-old married physician views Internet pornography for hours at home, masturbating five to seven times a day, then begins surfing porn sites at the office and risks destroying his career.
The writer uses an anecdotal situation to hook the reader in.
