Feature Writing Preview

1. The lead in a hard news piece includes most of the who, what, when, where, or why. But, the feature writing lead set up the story and gave a little bit of information to draw the reader in. The important information is not given up front in a feature writing piece.
2.
Who-  2nd Paragraph
What- 2nd Paragraph
When- Under Title
Where- 2nd Paragraph
Why-  3rd Paragraph
How-  8th Paragraph
3. Yes there are quotes used in this article.
4. Yes, in some cases, they used quote-transition style.
5. Ted Williams, Kevin McLoughlin,  Doral Chenoweth III, Ken Andrews, Tony Florentino, Shane Cormier.
6. "We could make him a millionaire," I think this is the most important quote in the story because it shows how someone can come out of extreme poverty, and make lots of money. I think this is the best quote because it shows that giving second chances is important. Even though he used to be an addict and was homeless, he now has a net worth of over $500,000. 
7. There are 33 Paragraphs. 
8. 765 words.
9. The lede and the ending paragraph are significant because they are not like a hard news piece. They do not exceed five words. 
10. I think the writer did that with the lead to emphasize the importance of his voice, and what that could mean for Williams. 
11. The story was interesting for me to read. I thought it was interesting because this man turned his life around and was given a second chance when many people in his situation are not given a second choice. 
12. I was very interested and curious as to how his voice would sound, and if it was all they were making it out to be. 
13. The video provided a visual for the article, it made the article more realistic for me to read and think about. 
14. I don't think the story would have lost it's impact, but I do think it would be a little bit less meaningful to me. 
15/16 . The writer did try to describe the voice by using words such as baritone, and somewhat describing what the voice sounded like. I also think the indirect quotes used to show what Williams said in the video described what the voice sounded like.
