My story this week comes from the Sun and ties in very nicely with the
theme of Christmas. An anonymous drink driver lost control of his Mini cooper
after a night out on his work do and smashed into a metal barrier. The driver
leapt out of the wreck and headed down the road to a large shed which contained
the festive scene outside the John Smith’s brewery in Tadcaster, North Yorks.
The driver tried to hide himself under the hay next to the manger, but his
efforts were not enough when the police noticed his shoes sticking out the hay.
The unusual escape was reported on tweeted and sparked a hilarious
response from the public. Bill Simpson tweeted “Obviously not one of the wise
men” whilst Neil Royce said “God arrest ye merry gentlemen”. In all the
laughter that was created from this event, a source said "He’d been in the pub all night and was
absolutely hammered. He’d tried to get a few girls in the pub to go home with
him and they refused – luckily for them. But the gentleman was not injured in
the crash and has been arrested for drink driving.
I found this story interesting because the actions the
driver took in a bid to try to run away were extremely unusual and humourous, I
think the fact it came from the Sun meant the story was focused more on the
fact he hid in the nativity scene rather than the crash but the main thing was
that the man was ok.
Lily, I like that you have included pictures and where the article is from. The structure of your post makes the storyline easy to follow as I was able to pick up the storyline quite quickly. In future include the publishers name.
ReplyDeleteYou wrote a good response to the content of the article, could you expand more on the context, what is the significance of is being reported by the sun? I also think you wrote a good amount of opinion on the article.
ReplyDeleteYou described the story well and shortly making it interesting to read. I like how you included pictures that relate to the story making it even more appealing to the reader. It is also really good that you mentioned the source and your own opinion of why you have chosen this story.
