A News Report

 I found a report named "Stormy Seas Delay Recovery of Liner’s Fuel". This report follows the conventional rules because it answers the wh questions. What? The draining of the fuel from the half-sunken cruise ship had   been suspended. Where? In the coast of Giglio Island. When? This week. Why? Because of winds and rough seas. Who? The officials said the work of draining fuel had to be stop. It is important to drain the fuel to avoid devastating spill.

Defining journalism and literature

What I think is journalism and literature:

Journalism is a way of narration, in wich a true story is told from the author's experience.

Literature is every writting or narration in wich something is told under an especific style, depending on how and what the author wants to write about.

God's gift and whip

"When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended for self-flagellation solely." Truman Capote

I find this quote, from Truman Capote, interesting because it shows how a gift can become something bad. If you have a gift, this have some frustating elements that can even hurt you. In the case of Capote, for example, writting about him must remind him of sad memories, experiences and feelings. It´s interesting to see that a tool you have to good at something has also disadvcantages and challenges to face, where you have to sacrifice something. Thats why he talks about self-flagellation.
