A. Does the writer’s introduction and first few paragraphs get your attention to continue reading? Explain.
Yes, the writer immediately jumps into a tangible story rather than going through statistics and legal matters. The story was horrifying enough to continue.
B. Are there any vivid sections of this feature story? If so, briefly summarize and explain its effect on you as a reader. If you did not find any memorable sections, what would you suggest the writer do on a second draft to correct this?
The first story was very vivid to me. The story about the girl, Zoe, who wakes up naked and confused in a mans bed and eventually goes to brunch with him when she eventually hears from a friend that that is one fraternity’s joking goal called “brunchmaster”. It stood out to me because many young women do not even consider what happened to Zoe legitimate rape, however this happens to Chico State students every weekend. Many people may feel that the manner in which Zoe went about shedding light onto the situation is excessive and annoying but this is a mindset that she was trying to change. Zoe was trying to show other girls that no matter how small the situation seems, there is no harm in fighting for justice. This article also vividly displayed the justice system at Zoe’s university, Whitman. I was shocked to hear that during her appeal that she sat before the same jury that had prosecuted her the first time.
C. Do you think this writer presented a fair and accurate account of these incidents on the college campus? Explain what she did right or wrong.
Yes, I believe that the writer had explained evenly the schools policy mixed into the stories. I did not even feel as if the stories were written biasedly; only to convey pure facts of what had happened. I was able to feel the exhausting journey of the girl with my own thoughts and stereotypes.
D. If you could ask the reporter one question feature story what would it be?
What would have been the
