Critiquing Dan Cat

Dan wrote this article on gasoline prices on May 25, 2008.  The headline “Gasoline isn’t only rising cost for drivers,” is good headline that lets you know what the article will be talking about. However, I feel it might read better if it said Gasoline isn’t “the” only rising cost for drivers.

To me the opening graph seems a little corny (spirit sputtering). The second line where it talks about sticker shock seems a little cliché by saying “sticker shock will make the summer even stickier.”

In the third graph the word “bemoaning” is used. I don’t think I would have known what that meant without looking it up. These were the main things that I noticed about this article. This article had no multimedia aspects.
