All the budgets fail to answer the “so what” question, which is mentioned in writing tool 40. In “Rush”, the author said he/she think the topic would be interesting, but the author didn’t explain why the reader will be interested in the topic. Also, as for me, I would ask why should I care about the barre exam or the dancers?
The whoevers and Dance Revolution failed to come up with solid story idea. In the whoevers, the author raised a series interesting questions, but didn’t mention the main theme and angle of the article. In the Dance Revolution, the author only introduced the background information of stunts but didn’t mention what story he or she is going to explore. Does the author only want to introduce the stunts? Or the author wants to explain why the trend raised? Or the author wants to explore the effects this trend would cause?
Except the Rush and Dance Revolution, the rest budgets lack of interview sources.
All the budgets didn’t mention what tools do they need to build the story. I think the method of “saving string” mentioned in writing tool 44 is really useful.
