The column that I read for the homework assignment was called "Living the new adoption law" and was about this law in Ohio that will become effective in one year that will allow adopted people to see information about their birth parents. view column here
The line that I think was best written was "She still doesn’t understand why Ohio made it hard for a segment of its adoptees to find answers to those questions." I think that it is the best line because it shows the frustration before the law was passed and then the author includes quotes of how this will help the person understand things better.
I think that Ramsey's writing style is to take a serious or real story and make it more personal so that everyone can kind of relate to it. She does this by adding some meaningful quotes or by adding humor to her writing. Quotes from the columns that prove this are:
"active time outdoors isn't just good for young peoples' waistlines and social skills,"
"Probably half the population sees this as a problem and the other half, a blessing. The problem is both halves show up at the same events"
“I’ve always been one of those people who thought I had to wait until I was really ready to do this, but I don’t want to wait until it’s too late. I need to do it now – we need to do it now. Now is as good a time as any.”
Questions:
How do you find people to quote in your stories?
What is the biggest challenge in your job?
What made you want to go into that type of job?
