Feature Writing Preview

1. Feature leads do not always include the all the W's and news leads get straight to the point .

2a- in the first paragraph they say who Ted Williams is and what he did
2b- in the first paragraph you find out what he did to get to the point he's at today and throughout all the paragraphs you learn what he did and how news stations looked for him for his special voice.
2c- In paragraph one they say where they found Ted , they found Ted on Hudson Street ramp off northbound I-71

2e- In paragraph 5 media people were calling news station looking for the man that had the magical voice.
2f- In paragraph 2 Teds sign is introduced and that's when someone video aped him talking and then the video went viral. 

3. Yes, there are quotes in this story 

4. Yes, the story is in quote-transition style.

5. Ted Williams, Kevin McLoughlin, Doral Chenoweth III, Ken Andrews, Tony Florentino, Shane Cormier, Frank Willson and Patrick Harris.

6. 
"I'm trying hard to get it back," Williams says. This is the most powerful quote because You can tell that Ted really want's to change and become the old person he was. Also you feel that Ted is really going to work hard for his career. 

7. There are 33 paragraphs.

8. There are 765 words in this story.

9. The lead in this story gives you the main idea of the story. It tells you what this story is about and it doesn't give extra details , it's just short and simple. In the final paragraph in the story it's telling you to listen to the voice you hear because it could be Ted's voice you hear.

10. I think the author started and ended the story talking about the voice because it makes you want to read more and hear all about what the voice is . Also the story is about this cool and . new voice. The author used the voice as a hook to start the story off and grab your attention. 

11. I think the story was pretty cool to read and also really interesting to hear about this guy who came from nothing to something. It was so cool how his voice made him so famous and well known to people. Also it makes me happy that he got off the streets and is a happy and wealthy man.

12. When i was reading it , it heard a much more animated voice and something much more high pitch than the deep voice that was the actual voice. 

13. My heart was so confused and happy knowing that this guy started living on the streets . I would have never known someone with such a cool talent to live on the streets and not have much money. I'm so glad that his cool talent helped him become such a good person

14. I think the story was a strong story and it didn't need the video to give us the idea of the voice. The video was like the story in action and we got to see the story in live action. The story didn't need a video but i'm glad there was a video because it really let me hear the voice.

15. I think the author really wanted us to use our imagination and really think about the voice as we want to hear it. When the author uses the family guy part as an example, the author really narrowed down how we would hear the voice and that was really cool.

16. The author used family guy as an example which let me think about all the options that his voice could be. It really made me think about which character he was and how many voices he can do with his voice.
