This weeks blog is on a BBC story about a kid who is 7 years old and was drafted into the military. Imagine being the parent of that 7 year old boy and finding out he has to go serve in the military. This boy probably doesn't even know how to tie his shoes let alone shoot a gun and fight for his country. This story took place in Russia so I guess it kind of makes since but still. In the end it all ended up being a mistake by the children's hospital so this poor 7 year old boy doesn't actually have to serve in the military but it definitely made for a good laugh.
This article has the perfect amount of information to give you everything you need to know but not enough to bore you. The author used a lot of quotes which I liked, but it was hard to keep track who the quotes were from. Some of the confusion may have come from the foreign names, but thats something you can't change so it's probably fine. Overall, this was a funny story that was well executed.
I will implement the author's creativity in my own stories. Finding funny yet interesting stories is important.
