BUBBLE: my favorite explanation is: people
become extremely depressed because of the
delusion- bubble bursting- as they return to a
more every day type of consciousness. 

the other stubbornness in the name of so
called experience.
Professionalism vs.  Vocational-ism

28. 1. Play with structure of your
story
1. Play with the format of your
story
TWO SMART WAYS OF DOING
THIS:

29. An alternative method (to Inverted
Pyramid) is the Narrative or Story-telling
approach. Narration uses scenes and
dialogue to build up to a climax. People
are prominent in the story, and they are
responsible for the action. The sentences
are in Subject-Verb-Object formation;
and the stories have four distinct parts:
Structure of Radio Story…

30. Beginning (which introduces/tells the news
quickly or tells the story with the use of a
personal story or a real life situation that is
happening right now.
Context (which explains how this particular
story fits into a larger scheme of things.
Middle/Climax (which explores tension in
the story through differing points of view).
Resolution –a real ending to the story.

31. Manipulate the opening
Manipulate the climax
Push the actual story into context
