Columnists

This weekend I had to read 6 columns by the following authors, Mike Lupica, Robin Givhan, and Dave Barry. They each had their own was of writing. Mike Lupica was all for sports. Robin Givhan is the girls fashion police/critic. And Dave Barry definitely shoots for humor.

I overall like all the columns considering they are meant to get my interest and be very entertaining. But I do not find too much interest in the sports type of columns. I know that's not everyone just me. I'm only giving MY opinion. Now I Am sure plenty of other sports fantasized people out there do find them to be very passionate. Then also Robin, I did like her second writing of "What will Kate Middleton's wedding dress look like?". It may be because I am a girl and huge royal weddings are very interesting to me haha!


But my favorite column out of all of them would have to be Dave Barry. He is able to write in a humorous way to give attention to all readers with common attractions. For example the dog article, EVERYONE who has a dog can relate to the happiness and comfort dogs give you. And then he persuades almost everyone who don't have dogs to get one because they are great! And I like the kind of writing cause it attracts me and keeps me interested to what they have to say. And Dave Barry is for sure known for that!
