The article is called Coach stands by kid charged in DeSales Market crime. This article talks about how even after this kid commits a terrible crime his coach still believes that there is good in this kid. The line in this column is "Jesse Cheatham is the guy who pulled you aside when he saw that there were two versions of you – the smart Aiken sophomore who recently passed the Walnut Hills High School entrance test, and the street kid who pulled his pants down around his knees, grew dreadlocks and ran with his friends." This really lets the reader see how the coach feels about Aiken. He believes that Aiken has good i him he just made a stupid decision. The author seems to really make it obvious that this basketball coach really believes in this kid. He respects the kid. This passage has a long sentence which further shows the empathetic tone of the article.
Ramsey uses a Narrative style of writing. She always makes a little story in the column. for example in " For better vision, kids need time outdoors"." You see it all the time. Your teenager at the dinner table, waiting for his checkup at the orthodontist office, sauntering to his car" Another example is from "Super Bowl QB's score points for great style". "The amazing thing isnt that two super jocks know how to dress well, but that they actually seem to want to." the last example is from "Coach stands by kid charged in DeSales Market crime" "I couldn't tell how much information you were absorbing Thursday morning as you were led into Courtroom 108 at Hamilton County Juvenile Court. It probably took most of your concentration just to walk in those leg shackles."
3 questions I would ask Ramsey would be Where did u go to college? How old were you when you wanted to become a writer? What kind of writing style do you usually use?
