To shake things up, I chose an editorial piece from the Washington Post about the Queen's jubilee. It's a satiric article about the Queen of England's jubilee and Americans' fascination with the royals. With much sarcasm, the author abhors the queen's jubilee as just a sideshow, because in a America, rich people parading around are looked down upon; "there's no room for royalty with the Kardashians in town."
I chose this article because I wasn't quite sure what a jubilee was and I was interested in reading a
different kind of article. The piece was fairly decent, it could have used work in the flow of the article and there was a spelling error/typo. (I'm the Features editor for the school paper so I tend to notice these things lol). I thought the article was entertaining and made a few good points- people care more about a bald man marrying his college girlfriend (William and Kate) than venus crossing in front of the sun.
