A boy's Life hangs in the balance

The article http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-lopez30sep30,1,2321335.column by Steve Lopez, the journalist talks about a young boy facing near-death experience after being dragged by a car.

Lopez's story falls into the third-person, with very little first-person elements. Danny White, is described as "red-haired and freckled." Every individual in the story is given a clear characteriztion.

It is clear where this all happened at: the event took place at Palisades Circle, on a "Thursday afternoon, Sept. 20, a beautiful day clouded by this sudden intersection of random event involving people who never met each other."

The story is presented in chronological order which makes it easier to read, and the story seems to get stranded as well.

Sometimes it is easier to read narrative writing if it is at least entertaining.
