Feature Writting Part 3

Welcome back! 

In this weeks blog we will be discussing the final lead which is the Narrative Lead. This is a practice for the production of my magazine. 

A narrative lead is known as a hook to grab the readers attention, it is usually done in a sentence, paragraph, or in a couple pages.

Below I will do my narrative leave based off of the fact sheet below.

Fact sheet:

“ 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.”

Leads:

The news is out. A total of 18 cars were gifted and won by 18 people from Rutherford Ford. Innocently and full of joy the lucky 18 all arrived in expectation of receiving their free car. But all were quickly enriched with the news that they had been pranked and were leaving empty handed. This left them empty handed, car less and completely distraught.

That’s it folks. We have reached our last blog about leads. This journey was fun, see you guys in the next blog!
