Bush is giving away money!
In a recent travel article from Friday’ s USA Today edition, I found an article discussing the rebate checks that are meant to boost the economy.
Laura Bly, the article’s author, did a great job of showcasing the use of an inverted pyramid style in “Travel industry wants you- and your rebate“.
Furthermore, Bly uses statistical data in her article which I have not previously seen in article when looking for pieces to critique. Bly switches between using data provided by USA Today polls as well as outside sources such as interviews and documents.
In addition, the flow of Bly’s article allowed for the reader to easily comprehend the copious amount of information she provided.
She also figuratively draws an image in the reader’s mind of the possibilities and choices of what to do with their money. Interestingly, she also provides a snapshot of a regular American and what they decided to do with their rebate check.
