Limelight On: The Biggest Little Man in the World

This article about Filipino pride Manny Pacquiao was made interesting by the way the writer used a sense of narration to give a clear picture of how being with Pacquiao for an interview felt. Through use of descriptions, Manny Pacquiao was transformed from a sports legend seen on tv and magazine covers to an actual person who has a normal life behind his success.

The soft downpour of information about Manny was interesting as well. Bits of information about Pacquiao (his being the only boxer to have seven titles in different weight divisions) were not given in one blow, but rather, inserted between narrations of the writer. Adjectives used in the article were clear and effective.

I would employ most of the writing techniques used in the article with just one exception. The article was interesting but a bit lengthy and so the reader’s anticipation to know the gist of the article can be held for quite a longer time and can result to the reader being uninterested even before finishing the article. I can try to write a shorter article about the same topic to maintain the interest of the reader.
