Once a month at exactly 5 p.m. kids are lined up outside the Lego store at Kenwood Towne Center to build the themed object of the month. Parents are supporting the Lego habit because they see the calm focus of building as a better alternative than playing violent video games. My favorite line from the article is "Like sparklers and hugs, Legos are things a child can never have enough of." It makes the reader really understand how important Legos are in a child's life. I like this line because it is a simile and it is comparing sparklers and hugs, to Lego toys, saying the three are imperative to a child. The diction used is low/informal because there aren't any big words in the sentence.
The average sentence length in this piece was long because there were more than six words in each sentence. Although in other pieces there were shorter sentences used, like in the first article: For better vision, kids need time outdoors "Keep bothering." Her writing style is kind of serious but she adds little jokes in her pieces every now and then. Three questions I have are, have you always preferred column writing rather than fiction writing? Another question I have is when did you first get into writing? Lastly who inspires you, or has the most impact on your writing career?
