Compare and contrast-
In 1946 televisions were small, bulky, boxes owned by only
.5% of United States families. Today, however, the majority Americans own over two televisions and they have gotten as big as 100 inches.
Startling Statement-
Most Americans consider television to be a good thing, but
some experts say it is taking over our lives.
Descriptive-
I walked into Jim Girardeau’s office, carefully stepping
over parts of computer chips and foam packing peanuts that littered the ground.
He was bent over a small chip with a soldering gun, meticulously burning on
parts of the delicate piece of technology. Hesitant to interrupt, I waited
until he was done and then asked the first question.

ReplyDeleteI like your ideas, and I think these have potential. I really like the descriptive lead, but you might want to reconsider using first person. Also your startling statement is okay, but it's kind of short. I thought the compare and contrast has a good base idea, but you might want to elaborate a little. Overall the first one is my favorite.

I like the descriptive one as well, but like Annie, I believe that you should fix the first one... overall I like them.
