Solar Power: Photos of GreenVolts, Sopogy, SkyFuel
By Katie Fehrenbacher

The author to this article, Katie Fehrenbacher, took a boring subject, and was able to jazz it up. In the first paragraph, she was talking in the 2nd person and saying things like "...we’d be able to watch the innovative solar systems that are crowded into the building in action". Whenever an author talks in the 2nd person, I feel that they immediatly pull the reader into the story and make it impossible to stop. The author also worked her opinion into the article, which is really not something that I am used to doing, but seemed to fit in perfectly in her article without adding bias, ex: "If there was a Best of Show award for displays, I’d give it to GreenVolts, which was displaying a system that uses 176 power units that concentrate light onto highly-efficient triple junction cells...".
The author included an exclamation point in a parenthesis in the middle of the article, which I was really surprised to see, only because I know that I can't use exclamation points in articles that I write for the paper! So, as small as it is, it is something that stood out to me. Fehrenbacher's article was really unique to read, because it seemed to break all of the 'rules' that I am used to following when I write an article.

helloooo goodbye.
