This article titled "Get 'Em While They Last: 'Daily Deal' Sites Dying Fast" by Shayndi Raice, caught my attention because on of my roommates is obsessed with these types of websites that offer different deals. She recently told me about Groupon, a website that offers deals based on specific individuals likes and dislikes and she ended up persuading me to join. This article explains how many of these websites might eventually be shutting down due to high competition. When reading this article, I was definitely looking for verbs that stood out to me but I quickly realized I didn't even have too look hard. Raice used a variety of strong verbs to make her article appealing to readers. She starts off opening the article using the verb "spurred" in the very first sentence! As the readers continue through the article, there are different verbs such as "capitalize" and "soared". One other verb that stood out to me while reading Raice's story was "skyrocketed". In my opinion, the authors use of these vibrant verbs definitely added to the story to make it all the more interesting.
