One encompassing description that would fit all five articles would be their ability to tackle a techie or technology-related information and turn it into a light article to be read and enjoyed. In the first article about the Motorola Android, the mood employed in writing was light and filled with humor. One thing I can change if I were to do an article on the same topic would be use of more familiar techie terms to avoid confusion.
The Wired.com article about Twitter and theater was interesting because it presented its main topic or lead as a question, but I think the tweets included in the essay could have been lessened. Time.com’s article provided vivid descriptions on one man’s experience in Riding the Rails of Malaysia, In Singapore. If I would rewrite the article, I would retain the amount of descriptions used but will use a more catchy introductory sentence.
The Kentucky Derby was a bit different because it used slang words that are usually avoided in feature articles. The use of slang words was effective, though. It raised a sense of reality in the article and provided indirect descriptions of the characters present.
The last article employed descriptions of sports prowess almost all throughout the article. It was a bit lengthy and can bore someone who is not a tennis fanatic like me. The first sentence can interest the reader at once. Descriptions used were effective, though. These descriptions made me feel like I was infront of the game of Michael Joyce. If I could write about a tennis match, I will make my article shorter, then start with a good introductory sentence and end it with what Joyce has that made him a famous tennis player.
