Narritive lead

In "27 Dresses," Katherine Heigl plays the perennially single woman who's "always a bridesmaid, never a bride" and who has a closet full of unattractive, frilly frocks to prove it. It makes for an entertaining story line. But, in reality, bridesmaids dresses aren't as frumpy as the movies make them out to be.

The writer used a narritve lead here, becasue this stroy isn't so serious it's about fashion, therefore, it needs a lead like this one to draw people's attention by using the lates movie "27 Dresses" to relate to anyone who has been a bridesmaids or anyone who has watched the movie.

nut graf: In fact, experts say they've gotten to be downright - would you believe it? - stylish. Pretty, even.

Interview with kathryn

Kathryn is ahead of most 18 year old 's I know. Interviewing her i found that she wants to major in Journalism and do magazine layouts, as a recent high school graduate she was on the year book staff, which inspired her into journalism. After High School she went to the University of Oregen, after a semster she decided Oregen wasn't for her, so she headed back to sunny California, to her home town of Half moon bay. Although she knows what she wants she not all about books and studying, in her spare time she likes to hangout with friends and go shopping, and her favorite food is Italian, somthing we have in common.
Quote's she likes
"Learn from your mistakes and move on don't dwell on the past"

"Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what your gonna get"

first blog ever

Hello my name is Nai, i took journalism 110 and learned alot about the media, and it's influence on viewers. The most intresting thing i've learned in journalism 110 was when i was writing my paper on altering photoghapy in the journalism. This paper was not easy, but i'm glad i did it. I learned how important it is to keep a picture at it's puriest, so that it's not a lie. Wich is very important when pictures and images invoke so many differnt emotions with viewers. So I am looking forward to journalism 120.
