Zephyrus has many stories that are very interesting and well written, and then there are stories that have one if any visible elements in it that are just a waist of paper. In the second issue there is an article called "Lend a hand this Thanksgiving: Hundreds of Edina citizens rely on food shelves for their meals." The article is very important due to the fact that it advertises people to buy food for those who are unfortunate not to have food. This article had timeliness because it was about Thanksgiving and Christmas, both of these holidays are good times to help other people. This is also close to home because it is about Edina people and how they can help out. One problem with this article is that it doesn't have any quotes.
The teacher crush story, I think it is a waste of paper. I don't find this article interesting. It is supposed to be humorous but it isn't because it doesn't connect with the audience. I don't think that this article gives enough information. It says the teachers name, but not what they teach. The pros of this article is that it has good pictures and lots of quotes.
On the back page, the article Do you know your EHS men?, the descriptions aren't clear enough to have an educated guess. Also the pictures are clear enough, it could be the same person in different positions. Good grammer would have been a plus, example- I draw good and we hug the bear.
