After I read Nicholas Kristof's article, "Obama's First Term Report Card," I had a huge smile on my face. I adore Kristof's analogies, metaphors, similarities, and overall, his writing style. This article had so much of Kristof's own personal flair and voice. It was amazing how unique, outrageous, yet effective his writing is. My personal favorite was the last line of the article in which Kristof writes, "Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive. That’s not a bad re-election bumper sticker." I loved how Kristof was able to be a bit goofy, but at the same time, write an extremely effective article in which he was able to convey his message to the audience. Overall, I enjoyed this article and hope to be able to develop my own unique voice in my own writing.
