Krista Ramsey Introduction Activity

Link to the column:   http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/columnists/krista-ramsey/2014/03/27/krista-ramsey-dorothy-johnson/6984845/

In this article, it talks about a family in debt from a mothers death and isn't able to afford a proper funeral. Then some local business such as Spring Grove Cemetery, Grunn Funeral Home, JC Battle & Sons Funeral Home, the Walker Funeral Home, and Vine Street Cemetery offered a free and proper burial for the family.

  "Spring Grove Cemetery, Grunn Funeral Home and JC Battle & Sons Funeral Home offered their services and the Walker Funeral Home, along with Vine Street Cemetery, offered the family a free burial plot. The funeral home said it will also donate transportation for the family, flowers and other services." This quote has a positive impact on the reader because it shows some local businesses helping out. Throughout the passage, the diction was mostly casual.

Ramsey's writing style is very casual from all of the columns we have read so far. Ramsey uses casual diction and her articles aren't a hard read and some are very relatable, but in her articles it sounds like she is just simply having a conversation with you.

If I could ask Krista Ramsey any 3 questions I would ask her:
  • What is the best part of your job?
  • How do you come up with these ideas on what to write about?
  • Do you enjoy your job?
