This was a very interesting, sad, and compelling story. It caught my eye because I had previous knowledge of the "tuba man," and his overwhelming importance to the city of Seattle.
The headline is what really caught my eye, because it involved the entire city of Seattle saying goodbye to someone, which meant that he was of great importance. The photograph also caught my eye because it had a picture of a lot of people in mourning.
The story lived up to the promise that it gave. There was a detailed background of his works and why everyone knew him, which explained his great importance to the city. It also detailed his death and the things that he did that made him so famous.
The main point of the story was his death and the enormous loss that it was to the city and all of its sports fans. He was known for keeping all sports fans upbeat and involved even in the toughest of times and longest of seasons.
The story was a narrative with many details about the situation. It was organized as most any story involving the death of an important figure would be; it started with his trademark doings and sayings, and ended with an impression that everyone will remember.
The story linked several important points. It linked his trademarks and why he was known, what he did for the citizens emotionally and mentally, his death, and the difference that has been made by his works. They followed a logical order.
I did not know that he had been involved in such a vicious attack, and that that was the reason for his death. I also did not know that he was very proficient with many other instruments. I was not left with any unanswered questions at the end of the story.
The story was sad as well as uplifting, as it showed that even the smallest of acts can be remembered and have a lasting impression.
