(Photo from the article)The article I chose is "Locking into the Magic of Legos." (Link can be found -> here <-)
It was about the controversy of Legos and how it affects how children play today. It's as almost parents are concerned that their child isn't making even the slightest sound after their wide-awake early parenthood years.
The quote I thought that had the most thought was "that's because kids are off the clock with Legos. They're in a world beyond learning objectives and select soccer, safely out of reach of arranged play dates and online language programs. Legos let them claim the two things adults don't even realize they need: space and silence." The beginning of the sentence starts with a short sentence to grab the reader's attention of the problem with Legos. This quote tells the reader that kids need time to their self no matter what they're really doing-because if that silence or concentration is broken for a second, it may never be the same way again.
Ramsey's writing style is using syntax as a way to get the readers to pay attention to what she's trying to say. In all three columns, it was likely that there was a short sentence to start an idea she had. When she was explaining something, medium and long sentences were used. She also uses thoughts and meanings that connect us with the article in some way that remind us "hey, I do that sometimes too."
My three questions to Krista Ramsey would be-
1) How far and deep do you look for a fresh piece of news to write about?
2) If another job was presented to you before you started working with the Cincinnati Enquirer, would you take it up?
3) What do you like to write about the most?
