My article

My article came from the magazine "The Atlantic" the title of the article was called "Off to the Races". It was about travel and Saratoga Springs. Saratoga Springs lies in upstate New York between the Hudson River Valley and the Adirondacks. It talks about three main things in it the races, the water, and the people/places. It dealt with a travelers experience in this area.

The Tone of this story more of deals with happiness and joy at the beginning as if he understands why the racetrack is such an important historic item in the town. When he comes to the springs and the water there with the spas he is more of displeased with what he is receiving out of it. He is feels as tho it is nothing more than just sitting in a "tub of warm club soda". He feels that it is a good place to visit and it more appeals to the urbanites. He also tries to give you the feeling of remembering things as though you might have experienced them or always wished to have experienced some of these.

The language in the story is more directed to urbanites and people that are more of travelers. It also directs it towards people that are looking for a good time and looking for a good relaxing vacation with the horse track or a relaxing vacation with a spa. He more of uses descriptive words and puts a few historic points into play so that the people might feel that this is an important place and the description so that they might be able to get the picture from what he is saying so that they might be interested.

The overall voice is a captivating relation to get the feelings and memories and enthusiasm going. The places they more of talked about was to interest people going for a good vacation and trying to get the attention of many others who would ever think about going on one. It shows great feeling of enjoyment and peace. This feeling makes people more interested in what is being offered towards one another. Even in some places where he does not feel as pleased he still gives it a place where it feels like in some other places it might be better than others and that even if it does not meet your criteria like the spa it is also helping because he puts facts about his weak points to reinforce it.

The structure of this article is more of a flowing patter to attract those from the title and give the positive reinforcement to go along. It gives a reader a beautiful painted picture in the imagination and positive reinforcement to all things even those that are not so positive. He is there to inform and add in his own details and give his own opinions and to tell it as he is seeing it. He is willing to put out interesting facts and combines all of it together at the end in a fitting final peace of the puzzle with the races, the spa, and the people/places. He is doing it this way by setting the scene at a spa where he is watching the people and the things around him waiting for the next day to put his horse picking to the test.
