2. This article provides brief information about Dee Hoty and the plays she starred in like "Mama Mia." She also starred in a very popular show "Law and Order."They even provide information about the her current play and comments about being in the acting business.

3. A. The only person interviewed in this story is Dee Hoty. The interview with Hoty was essential, especially since the story is about her, but they could have interviewed some of her previous cast mates. They could have interviewed people from the television shows and old plays she starred in.

B. The vocabulary was very easy to understand. I found the sentences to be very precise and a great example of this is when the writer discusses some of the awards and plays she starred in. It states "Dee Hoty has been nominated for Tony awards for her performances in "The Will Rogers Follies," "The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public" and "Footloose."
C. The best direct quotation is included at the end of the article and it is by Hoty. In this quote she explains that not everyone can have a long standing career in acting like she does. Hoty says "I've had a career in the theater and made a living at it, which is something not many people can say."

4. A. The lead was strong because it gets immediately to the point and that is that Hoty is continuing her dream.
B. The nut graph was strong because it starts to get into the theme of the play "Rich Girl."
C. The ending was strong because Hoty's message holds true to not just actors, but to people in any career path they choose. When you continue to build up your career history, you can truly be proud about yourself.
D. The story organization was average. It included great information, but there could have been more interviews (at least one or two more).

5. I really enjoyed reading this article and learning about Dee Hoty and her success.
