Week 11

I thought the finding headlines homework would be a pain, but I really enjoyed it. I have never paid attention to headlines. They have always been the words I read to get information. I did not realize that headlines could be so creative. My favorite headline of the week is: Real-Life Iron Man Sets Record For Fastest Time In Jet Suit. From the first line, I am already entertained. I chose to read this article because it mentioned Iron Man and jet suit. The rest of the article was just bonus.

Here is one of the headlines I found that was not as good: Julia Roberts thinks Wonder is a ‘superhero movie.’ When I first read this, I thought it said Julia Roberts thinks Wonder Woman is a ‘superhero movie.’ Yes, “Wonder Woman” is a superhero movie. Why is Roberts stating the obvious? I then realized she was actually talking about her new movie “Wonder.” This headline would work better if “Wonder Woman” had not come out somewhat recently. I doubt I was the only one to make the same mistake.

My grammar mistake for the week comes from a famous poet: Emily Dickinson. She wrote amazing poetry, but struggled with correct grammar. She wrote it’s instead of its on the second line of her poem.
