The final product of our project finally came out! Our Thunderword article was published on the lastest issue of the newspaper, which came out last Thursday. I was really excited when I saw it under the opinion section. However, when I took a closer look at the article, there were some mix feeling I had for this piece. First of all, the title was messed up grammatically. There was a missing letter. You know what, that's not even the point here. That wasn't our title!!! Sarah showed me the original title that she sent them in her e-mail and it was not the same one. If the paper's editor was going to change our title, that person could at least do it right. Just a letter "R" is not going to take up that much ink!
For the rest of the article, I know there was also some editing, mainly to make it shorter since there is a limited space for our article. I don't know about the rest of my group's sections, but my part of the article looked good overall. However, there was a little change that I wasn't very happy with. The first sentence of the carmine part was like this in the paper. "Carmine is the additive that makes yogurts, such as Yoplait and Dannon, that delicious, creamy-looking, pink color" I was not happy with the word "makes" in that sentence because it makes the sentence sounds weird to me. It was supposed to be "gives". But other than that, I'm quiet happy with my part of the article.
