Krista Ramsey

The column that I chose it the magic of Legos by Krista Ramsey.  This column is about how when parents buy there kids legos they are actually buying themselves peace and quiet.  It also talks about how there are benefits to kids playing with legos like building confidence and using there imagination instead of playing video games. this column can be found at http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/columnists/krista-ramsey/2014/02/15/krista-locking-into-the-magic-of-legos/5521245/.  I think that the best line in this piece is "Like sparklers and hugs, Legos are things a child can never have enough of." this line show good use of diction because of figurative language.  

One thing that I noticed about Krista Ramsey is that is that in almost every blog post she compares it to something.  In the first one she compares eye site to iPhones next she compares dressing nice to two super bowl quarterbacks and finally she compares legos to peace for parents.  Some questions I have for Krista Ramsey are; how long does it take to write a column?  How much information does it take before you can even begin to write a column?  How do you chose your topics?
