Strangers' paths cross, and a boy's life hangs in the balance

I picked the article "Strangers' paths cross, and a boy's life hangs in the balance" by steve lopez, it can be read here

I think he brings the scene together really well. at first, it is kind of confusing on where it is going but it really comes together, and lets the reader know more about the people in the article.

I think this is a very good article for both the point of view and the narrative voice, you can see and hear what lopez is describing. "He was dragging sneakers to slow down at the driveway, but scooted a bit farther than he intended, and the Honda Pilot was on him before he could avoid it," lopez talks about the boy being knocked down by the car, i can just seet his happening and wanted to help, and wanted to keep reading to see whats going to happen.

I think this is a very well written article, and people would want to read it, because it is something that might happen to them, or someone they know. They might be the parent out walking with thier kids, driving the car, or they might be the on-looker. They are going to be more likely to read it if its going to happen to them, rather than some freak accident.
