For homework this weekend I had to read 6 columns written by professional authors. Throughout them I noticed that the author usually appeals to your feelings to get out their message. They do this by talk of death or pain or loss. They also use jokes quite often throughout their columns. This keeps the reader entertained.The columns are crafted in sch a way that you se the authors point without it being forced down your throat. You can also have laugh while reading most of these which makes it all the more interesting.
I particularly like the column about the Boston Marathon bombing. I liked it because it shines a light on the unsung heroes who saved lives but are hardly acknowledged for that. I feel like it is a big deal to risk your life to save someone's life that you don't even know. I agree with Mike Lupica in that those heroes deserve more than we have given them. The true heroes are the men who first ran into the smoke to save the injured runners for that is truly an act of heroism.
