In school we have just started studying columnist and in particular Krista Ramsey that works for the Cincinnati enquirer. I read one of her columns called Raising Kids to Embrace the Worls, then they do.

In this column she talks about how as the kids are growing up the parents are always telling them to go out and enjoy the world and have fun with what you're doing but then as the go to leave you you don't want to let them go. I think a good quote to sum up this is, "It's the most humbling lesson of parenting: We may be in charge of the prologue, but only they get to write the story of their lives" this line is so good because it sums everything up and it says that you can tell your kids what to do but they are the one that get to decide what they really want to do. This quote is so well written because it relates life to writing a story, which is what she knows well about. It also uses good wording because it says that the parents are in charge of the prologue so we get that they are in charge of the beginning of their life's and they get to direct them in a certain way but they can't tell them everything. Krista Ramsey likes to write about the little that effect society and that we see every day but we may not think of it in a big way like a lot of the news that we hear about everyday.
A few questions that I would like to ask Krista would be, What do she like about writing columns? Another question that I would ask her would be, how does she think of the things that she writes and not get writers block? Finally I would ask is how did she choose to be a writer?
