Assignment #2

The article that i have chosen is titles "How to earn more frequent flier miles". The writer of the article tells people how they can earn more frequent flier miles by going shopping, paying bills and even selling your house. Then he tells you exactly how many miles you can earn with each company. Out of the 15 types of feature articles that we went over in class, this one falls under "How to".

The way this article falls under a feature article is because it's informative about something that's not happening locally or around the world. It's also original.

In the text i found the definition of descriptive. I do not believe that this article is that descriptive. The only details that the writer gives about how many miles each airplane company will give you. There's really no person or scene to describe in this article.

One way that i believe that the article could be improved is maybe there could be a section about helpful tips for college students or people who don't have a lot of money and how they can earn more frequent flier miles (if there is such a way). A lot of people in America are struggling right now and i think that if the writer wants to help a lot more people who could have a section that is directed towards the two groups that i listed above.
