“Three Brothers Fall Victim to Big Bad Wolf Attack”

Albany, NY, September 16, 2007 was the day that marked a horrific murder on two brothers in the town of Glenmont. Early yesterday morning two brothers feel victim to a horrific crime. Alexander T Wolf, better known in the town of Glenmont as the “Big Bad Wolf” is being held at the Vice Precinct without bail. He is being accused of first degree murder, man slaughter and breaking and entering. If Alexander is found guilty he faces life in jail with no possibility of parole.

Alexander “Big Bad Wolf” claims to have been paying the victims a visit because he claims he needed some sugar for the cake he was baking. However, it is strange how a simple cup of sugar lead to the tragic death of these two brothers. If all Mr. Alexander needed was some sugar, then why are two brothers dead! He should have paid the local market a visit rather than these you young men. One bystander claims to have seen the Alexander trying to break down the surviving brother’s door. “Thank goodness for his sturdy home” exclaimed a neighbor. When the police arrived at the scene, the wolf was franticly attempting to break into the surviving brother’s home. The surviving brother is now left alone with no remaining family members; close friends say that he is distraught over this tremendous loss. The two brothers were very well known in the town of Glenmont for their volunteer work with the elders at the local hospital.

These brothers were independent young men; they even built there own homes; they were aspiring architects and had plans on funding there own business next fall. They were going continue their fathers dream to have a family business.

Community members have been protesting outside of Vice Precinct in efforts to support the surviving brother. Mr. Finklestin, the lawyer of the surviving brother urges the community to remain calm “justice will be served in this town”. We were unable to receive a comment from Alexander’s lawyer at this time. Alexander will see the judge on Monday morning.

Adriane I found your article, like Len's, extremely creative - you demonstrate a strong ability to present an "objective argument." Basically this means you use evidence to support a personal opinion.

It seems your main focus was on the community reaction to Mr. Wolf's livid actions. One wonders if any pursuit ensued to make legilation more in favor of the death penalty. It is interesting to compare this crime to those being committed currently in New York. Great job!

Hi Adriane

Love your story! Extremely creative; I especially like the part of protest outside of Vice Precinct and unable to receive a comment from Wolf’s lawyer. It sounds so real.

Adraine,

Your report is great. I do like the way you created a scenario of how the deceased were independent, and aspired to extend their father's legacy. This is innovative. Also with the testimony of a witness, there are chances that "Big Bad Wolf" would be found guilty.

Great artilcle!!!

Have this been a real case, reading your article one would really see, believe, and take your side. It is also a great example of how the media has now come to control us. Having a favorit newspaper for instance it is no wonder why people become so radical and take sides strictly as the media outlines. Its very interesting how you incorporate the community emphasize your point and through condolenses make the Wolf's actions seem even more severe.

hello Adriane
I like you clip because you created a scene just like newspapers do, with neighbors, lawyers, and you also described what the pigs wanted to do with their lives, etc. I think your was very detailed.

Your story is cool. I especially like that word "bystander". It always seems to be there related to anything wrong going down.
