Times Log Week 4

Thursday: Todays Times reminded me how much of a difference pictures can make. Two particular articles caught my eye and made me more sympathetic to the article before I had even read one word. The first was the front page story about David Cameron, a British polititian, and the tragic story of his son. Born with cerebral palsy, little Ivan only made it to his sixth birthday. Although it's a sad subject, speaking about his son remains an effective way to highlight Cameron to the public. The second article I was drawn to because of its picture was the piece about a Turkish airline crashing in Amsterdam. No color is needed to emphasize the destruction of the crash. The plane seems to be sliced in half as emergency crews dash around the site trying to help. Since the crash was so sudden, a cause has yet to be determined. Stories like this always make me feel nervous and unsure about flying.
