*Evaluation of Eagle Breaks Through Windshield:

Recently in class we have been discussing how to write stories so that the reader feels like they are really there. Writing in a way that the reader feels more of a participant than a spectator. Although this piece does not do a fabulous job it does have some good aspects to it. It consists of many quotes from the two men who experienced this event. The told what they were feeling and how they were reacting to the situation. Ideally if this piece was going to be in more of a narrative format they author would not have started with spitting out most of the key details right away. The author would have built the story up with having the eagle crash through the windshield in the end.
