I chose the story of the Fargo Students being able to go back to school to write about. This story is, I’m sure, interesting to many, especially around Minnesota, because we have heard so much about it and know the severity of the situation. I met someone the other day that has been on ‘spring break’ for three weeks because of the flooding. Knowing someone who is going through the news that I am reading about makes it more interesting to me, and a great human interest piece. The article does a great job of including enough background information, the current situation, and perhaps does a little foreshadowing toward the end. There are various quotes from different people throughout the story, which gives us the perspective of someone that lives in the situation, and not just a reporter.
