 The big topic of the story is Simone Biles and her victories. The individual that the journalist focuses on in this story is Simone Biles. Zero words are said before mentioning the name Simone Biles, it is how the journalist starts off the story. The very that the journalist uses to pair with the subject is “completed”. The sentence is “Simone Biles News: U.S. Gymnast Completes Paris Olympics “Redemption Tour” With Four Medals.” By the third paragraph in the story, there is a mention of a quote that Simone Biles said herself. “Obviously, it wasn’t my best performance, but at the end of the day, whoever medaled, medaled, and that’s what’s so exciting, because you just never know, it’s gymnastics,” Biles said after her final performance. The writer makes sure to use verbs and action as well as cliff-hanger like sentences to hook the reader into reading more. The writer ends the story on the inspirational quote that Simone Biles said earlier except this time, they continue it. “Obviously, it wasn’t my best performance, but at the end of the day, whoever medaled, medaled... A couple years ago, I didn’t think I’d be back here at an Olympic Games, so competing and then walking away with four medals... I’m pretty proud of myself.” One thing that the writer did that kept the audience engaged was to make sure to use fun words and not have a boring narrative on the topic. I am going to try to use more verbs, action sentences, and insert a more upbeat way of writing that will keep the reader engaged.
