Pouncing on Wilson's throw like a leopard (participial), Malcolm Butler, an undrafted free agent from Western Alabama (appositive), ripped apart Seahawk's dreams of a repeat Super Bowl victory.For Friday via Drama/Suspense #1:
- Brainstorm a list of 8+ examples of context that help build the drama and narrative of the event.
- Draft a paragraph that sets up the drama. Do not describe the action yet.
Super Bowl 49 emerged from the muck of the NFL's most embarrassing year on record. Plagued by looming concussion concerns and the shameful off field domestic violence of Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice, Ray McDonald, and Greg Hardy, could the actual game make us remember why we love football so unconditionally? Almost. Despite the two weeks of wall to wall media coverage normally covering such insignificant player quirks and foibles and over-hyped narratives, the giggle inducing PSI gap of Tom Brady's footballs threatened to be the final insult to the once sterling image of America's most popular sport. The multi-million dollar Hollywood produced commercials might not be enough to make us forgive and forget; however, could the drama of the game itself save this season?
