The Final Days of Eli (Or Not?) (5740 word article, 340 words written)

When I saw the title “The Final Days of Eli (Or Not?), I automatically it was going to be about Eli Manning and his final season in the NFL. I was right. I thought this was a very well written and interesting article. We got to go inside the minds of both Eli, his family, and his teammates/coaches as his career was winding down. I really liked that in the very beginning of the article, we kind of got a play-by-play of Manning’s family at his last game before he was ultimately benched for Daniel Jones.

The title of this article drew me in immediately. Being a die hard baseball and Phillies fan, I knew I had to give this one a read. The first thing that grabbed my attention was the picture at the very top of the page. All the “Yankees Suck” shirts, the Red Sox flags. Damn, I miss baseball.

I am writing in response to My Writing Education: A Timeline by George Saunders. This one was in one of Dr. Dwyer's recommended readings, so I figured I would give this one a read. First, I did a quick scan of the article so I could pace myself while reading and have a good idea of where I am at in the story. The first thing I noticed was this article is organized very well and put into subcategories to break up the text. Each one made it very clear where we were at in the reading.

Ice Hockey Story

 Arcadia University, a small college located in Glenside, Pennsylvania, is adding another varsity sport to its selection. The school announced recently that they will be adding ice hockey for both men and women. Ice hockey will join approximately twenty other sports that are offered at the university, including the newly added eSports team. Bringing ice hockey to Arcadia University will offer new experiences for current future students, as well as opening up an opportunity for high school hockey players looking to compete at the division three level. 

Starting in 2021-22, students at Arcadia will be able to lace up their skates and hit the ice for the first time in school history. They will join only a few other division three schools in Pennsylvania to offer both men and women ice hockey.
