Representive Profile Piece

I was looking on the Washington Post website trying to find an article that was a representative profile piece. For some reason, this one caught my eye:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/01/AR2009090103709.html

1 (Lead)-"In the four months that Deborah Ann Brown had been making iced lattes and counting out Munchkins at a Dunkin' Donuts store in Northwest Washington, she became known as the slight, cheerful, generous woman whose personality made others smile" - gives you a little detail about Deborah Brown and what she did, although it does not say what happened (she was killed)

2. (Nut Graf)- paragraphs 3-4 say exactly what happened (she was in the wrong place at the wrong time) and gives a little detail about the man who killed her and gangs (which he was in.)

3. (Body)-the body goes into detail about how this has been a crime in a string of violence in Columbia Heights and gives statistics about the homicide rate being down and how the victim and assailant know each other

4. (ending) "In Brown's case," Fenty said, "she was an innocent victim"-the body brings up the neighborhood as a whole, but the end brings Deborah back into focus and reminding people that not everyone knows their assailant.

The article was gripping and made it realistic by talking about a specific person before branching out and talking about how crime has been fluctuating in Columbia Heights for a spree.
