Writing Leads Pt.3 - Blog #34

 


Welcome Back!


Finally, in this blog I will present the last lead I created in class.

Title: contrast and compare


Description: then and now, this and that


Example used: An armored truck was traveling down Orange Avenue during this morning's rush hour. The truck hit a particularly bad pothole, and the backdoor of the vehicle flew open. The truck contained approximately $20,000 in change the city had collected from is parking meters. The money fell to the pavement. Several bags burst open. Police halted traffic. City workers summoned to the scene used brooms to sweep up the coins, then shoveled them back into the truck. But, before the police and other city employees arrived at the scene, dozens of other motorists and bystanders stopped at the scene. Some offered to help. When city officials later counted the money retrieved by the workers, they found they had exactly $18,482.17. The remainder seems to have been stolen.


Lead: Robin-hood in the form of a pothole, took money from the city, and gave it back to its citizens.
