the article about Jack Jablonski
I read Cade's mom's story about Jack Jablonski for this reading check. It was an article about how Jack's injury affected hockey and the changes that more people want because of his injury. I thought that the article was very well written and justly explained the hockey scene, (I used to play hockey and know it very well.) One thing that I think it could've done better was write more about Jack and put the focus more on him to get more sympathy from a national audience. I think that it would create more of a stir and cause more rules to get changed. The article talked more about what rules were going to get changed. I am very glad that the name of the kid who hit him has not been shared. I know that this kid feels terrible. Accidents do happen and Jack has said that we shouldn't blame him, which means that we should focus not on the person who hit him, but what kind of a hit it was. I have had an accident sort of like this, but on a much, much, smaller scale and I know that it feels terrible to be the kid that caused it. Overall I think that it was a very well written article and it showed people Jack's battle on a national level and I think that it is very important that we do that.

I have not yet had a chance to read this article, but i hope to read it soon. Maybe after this comment? however when i learned about the Jack Jablonski incident i was stunned because i knew him and his brother.and when you say that the article could have received more sympathy what do you mean by this and how so? did the article provide any background on jack jablonks? im sure that this was a very well written article and i will be sure to read it as soon as possible
ReplyDeleteI also just read this article, and I agree with what you said. I found it especially interesting what you said about the kid who accidentally injured Jack Jablonski. In the article, it talked about the kids going to the church service for Jack, and both the kid and his dad were crying. This obviously shows that he feels remorse, so I'm glad that the kid's name was not mentioned, too. I think you bring up a good point on how the article should have been centered a little bit more on Jack, because it did seem to stray off-topic every now and then. It was still a very well written article, though.
