Krista Ramsey Post

Last Wednesday, April 16th, I was given the privilege to hear from a columnist who works at the Cincinnati Enquirer named Krista Ramsey.
Ramsey spoke about her job and what she has learned from it. She told us numerous stories about columns she had written. One that I remember hearing about was a bank robbing granny. The coolest things Ramsey talked about was how much of an impact her job makes. When she writes columns about people in need, a lot of times kind civilians will actually help the person in need. It's pretty amazing how she can change people's lives,
One question I have for her is how does she limit or add diction to her columns depending on the audience? I think it would be difficult to decide on including certain words in fear of the audience not understanding.
Another question I have for Ramsey is how often does she include figurative language? I'm unsure of how easy it is to include it and what kinds to include.
My final question is how long does she think the articles should be in length? I don't think they should be too long or too short.

In the link above, one of Krista Ramsey's article is available to read. It's about the benefits of preschool for children.
My favorite line from the column was "But one essential voice is missing from the discussion. It belongs to Ashlyn Bankes." I like the use of the word essential. I also like how she ends the paragraph saying it belongs to the girl.
I noticed a trend in the writing style of Ramsey. She varies her sentence lengths and paragraph lengths. Also, she ends the column with a one-two sentence banger.
Overall it was a really cool experience to hear her speak! :)
