 Hello today I will be practicing writing of the feature lead.

3. Unfortunate Phone Recipients

Descriptive

Someone called 18 people in the city last night. The caller identified himself as the president of Rutherford Ford, Inc., 2780 Doss Boulevard. He told each of the people that they had just won a new car from his dealership. Interviewed by reporters today, most of the people who received the calls said that at first they just couldn't believe it. And they were right. They couldn't. The person who called was a prankster, and Allen Rutherford, president of the dealership, says he has no idea who placed he calls, and that he's spending all his time today trying to explain the situation to those 18 people. "Someone apparently has a sick idea of humor," Rutherford said. After convincing people they had won a new car, the caller asked them to drop by the dealership this morning to pick it up. All 18 were there when the dealership opened its doors at 9 a.m. "I told them we never offered to give away a car," Rutherford said. "One woman told me she couldn't believe she'd won, and then she told me she couldn't believe it when I told her she hadn't. Two other women began to cry, and a man is threatening to sue me."

Standing in a open room with 17 other people grasping for hope that the phone call received earlier wasn't just a hoax. Finally Rutherford emerges revealing that the giveaway was false hard emotion was felt from everyone in that room. Rutherford stated that "I told them we never offered to give away a car,". This information now known made a major up roar at the dealership. "One woman told me she couldn't believe she'd won, and then she told me she couldn't believe it when I told her she hadn't. Two other women began to cry, and a man is threatening to sue me." Mr. Rutherford stated. Apparently the receivers of the call were told that they won a car and to pick it up around 9 a.m. where a crowd of people showed up believing the call. "Someone apparently has a sick idea of humor," Rutherford said.

Post #37 Draft Feature Story

 Hello and Today I will be going over progress of my feature story for my magazine Mikaili Taylor a beast on the court and off allowing him to enjoy a peaceful life. When asked what his greatest achievement was his response was "Balancing school and basketball at the same time" this also comes with no surprise as he was able to help his team in one of the games to get a 40 point lead. The only thing that is holding him back from succeeding sooner was time and location as he stated " I could of been in the NBA if I was maybe born a little early and went to a school that pro. This in turn pushes him to be great as he works on his craft on the weekends working out to the ends of the day as it goes first one in the gym and the last one out. The only things motivating Mikaili is music, sleep, and relaxing. His dream is not that far away as when he reaches college he will show off his skills to potential scouts that can help him elevate his career. Once he reaches the highest

Hello today I will be practicing my writing on feature story leads Twist The police in this municipality received a call at 3:45 p.m. yesterday afternoon. A woman shouted at the sergeant who answered the telephone. She said: "My son's been beaten. His teacher whipped him this afternoon, and he's all red where she paddled him. Can teachers do that? That's assault and battery, and I want her arrested." Two police officers were sent to the home. They questioned the boy, who is 9 years old. At his mother's insistence, the police officers also inspected the boy's reported injuries. They reported: "We couldn't tell that the boy had been paddled. His fanny didn't look red to us, but we did notice that his pants legs were wet and muddy. As we talked, it became obvious that he boy was lying. He finally admitted that he had stopped to play on the way home from school, forgot the time and got home late. He told his mother that the teacher had spanked him
