Week 6 Newswriting

“Money is the root of all evil” depicts money itself as being evil. However, the correct quote is “The love of money is the root of all evil”. This takes on a whole different meaning. It means loving money too much will lead to bad things, not money in general.  According to Virily, the original quote suggests that people who are too eager for money or love money too much are in the wrong. The misquoted version suggests that being in possession of money will lead to bad things. This quote comes from the Bible where many other quotes get taken out of context.  The quote “That’s one small step for man, giant leap for mankind” is a very famous quote said by Neil Armstrong that almost everybody knows. Although, many agree that it does not really make sense because man and mankind are synonyms. However, this quote is incorrect. The real quote is “That’s one small step for a man, giant leap for mankind”.  According to Space , the word “a” was not heard in the moonwalk transm...

Newswriting 5 Notes

Newswriting 5

Nick Schreiner has had a growing passion for snowmobiling since he was just 4 years old. His dad had got him involved and always brought him on his sled before Nick had his own. He finally got his own snowmobile for Christmas: a Polaris 120 in the color red – his favorite. The rest is history. Nick is now currently 19 years old and has not stopped riding. His adventures on his sled have taken him being one of his favorite places to ever ride.  Nick and his dad made plans for a winter trip to visit Cooke City along with his lake neighbors. His neighbors have been visiting and riding in Cooke City for over 20 years so they were the perfect guide. They drove the 800 miles from Kindred, ND to Cooke City, MT with their snowmobiles in tow. At the time, Nick was driving a Polaris 800 Switchback Assault in the color red – of course. On a Wednesday morning, they arrived at their Super 8 Hotel excited to experience the mountains.  Hidden in the heart of the mountains, Cooke City is...
