Traditional disaster reports often mainly focus on objectively recounting the course of events. However, the uniqueness of this article lies in that the author does not only report on disasters but also focuses on describing the underwater people who sacrificed themselves to save others in the glacier. I like this article because it not only has the authenticity of reporting but also contains the symbolic meaning of literature. Through Emerson's famous saying, disasters are elevated to the philosophical level of the confrontation between man and nature, transcending the events themselves.

The author uses this novel approach to report, thereby attracting readers. Taking the characters themselves as the entry point, it explores profound themes such as human nature, heroism, and life-and-death choices. So I like this kind of articles rather than ordinary news. Because they are more attractive and contain deeper connotations.
-
I think the way the author reports on this disaster is very novel. The author not only depicted the fearlessness of the man in the water, but also contrasts human beings with nature, making the article more impactful and appealing.And the author believes that in this disaster filled people with a sense of pride,rather than sadness，and the man in the water represents the best we can.This is precisely what I like about this article.

The reporting style is unique and novel. By focusing on the actions of an unidentified hero, this approach praises the selflessness and greatness of human beings. I like this article because this article promotes a positive-energy event, an event related to human nature. It helps us recognize the ordinary heroes in the world and encourages us to learn to be ordinary heroes ourselves.

1.The way author uses is simply succinct and clear .Firstly ,we can get the general situation of what happened and it gives me a sense that i wanna know what's going on next.Efficient and it's working . And then we can read this ariticle with curiosity .So i think the way author uses is great and i think it is unusual ,it's different from other News reports.
2.I like this artical , it creats a sense like epic and the glory of humanity is shining in this artical.Last time which i have such a feeling was read "Sternstunden der Menschheit".We all moved by the man in the water ,we admire the police team's courage. "The man in the water " is not only to memorize him but also to spread his spirit.
3.In the article , the author describing the tension in resuing drowing men . From the police , men in the shore and the survivors's description showing us how dangerous in that situation
At last , i'm going to share a word "Fear is a biological instinct ,courage is a paean to humanity"
May the dead rest in peace, god with them.

The author's way of reporting on this disaster is unusual because the author did not provide a detailed description of the entire disaster, but only talked about a person's heroic deeds, delving into heroism in depth. I like this article because I really appreciate the spirit of ordinary people who are willing to sacrifice themselves and make extraordinary contributions
-
The article is like telling a story, it arouses our interets to keep reading on. I love this article. Because I learn more from it.The man in the water was an ordinary person, but at the critical situation, he demonstrated great courage and selflessness and his anonymity proved that everyone can be a hero. Also, he showed our human nature.

What makes this article unusual is that it does not focus on the statistics or investigation details of the disaster, but rather through the story of an unnamed hero. The author focuses on the drowning man who repeatedly gave his rescue float to others. This choice itself is a literary metaphor. In the icy waters of the Potomac River, he fought against the forces of nature through self-sacrifice. This way of elevating individual behavior to the collective spirit of humanity is extremely rare in news features.
I like this article because the author places "humanity" in opposition to "nature". The author's writing style makes heroism even more powerful. Unlike sentimental obituaries or heroic biographies, the article always respects the identity of the unnamed person - we don't know his life story, but we witnessed his greatest moment. This is not an accident on the Potomac River, but the eternal appearance of humanity at the edge of the abyss. -
I like the way the author reports the disaster. In this way, the article became more vivid and concrete, relieving the negative impact that the disaster had on us. At the same time, this article manages to describe the disaster scene with utmost precision while actively portraying the bravery and fearlessness of each hero in their confrontation with nature. In addition, I appreciate the author's conception. In the end, the hero and nature held it to a standoff. However, the bravery of human nature was witnessed by everyone.

I think the topic in this article is novel.Air crashes are always heavy and often accompanied by death. According to several air crashes what I knew,there's no one survived.It is amazing that four people suvrvived and tried their best to help others.I really like this passage because of the author's vivid description and the encouragement of power of human.
-
I think the author use a very different way, instead of listing the disaster, he put the focus on the profound thinking: human nature and heroism through the image of "the man in the water". It is very unusual, he use some contrast and this can lead to more consideration. I like the artical, the reason is that through its dedicate narration and profound thinking, it can let readers to learn about the disaster and showcase the shining point of human nature in disaster.
-
I think the way the author reports on this disaster is appealing and unusual. I like this article very much. The hero who lost his life to save the other survivors touched me deeply. The man not only show his selflessness by saving other people but also reveal the power of everyman who try their best to overcome the natural disaster.
-
The author narrates the entire course of the accident and the heroic deeds in this experience in a unique writing style. Yes, I like this article. Through the description of the man in the water, the article calls on us to have the spirit of dedication.
-
I think the author's perspective in writing is very unique. Unlike other news reports that start from the macroscopic overall disaster scene, this one selects the perspective of a "drowning person", a microcosmic individual, to illustrate the big picture through the small. It enables readers to feel the cruelty of the disaster and the power of humanity through the situation of a specific person.
I like this article because, unlike other news reports, it leads me to think about the deeper issues behind the disaster, such as the essence of humanity, the connotation of heroism, and moral choices in the face of crisis, which has a deeper educational significance.
-
I think this way of reporting is very comprehensive. It combines this accident with human emotions, aesthetics, etc., and showcases the selfless dedication of the people involved in this tragedy in the water. At the same time, it sets an example for us.
-
I think the author's way of reporting this disaster is novel. It's somewhat unusual. I like this article. From the perspective of the heroes, this article reflects the brutality of the air crash from the side, thus highlighting the heroic characteristics of the "Water Flying Men" even more. The "Water Flying Men" were not afraid of danger and bravely rescued person after person from the water. They demonstrated the heroic nature with their mortal bodies and showed the theme of "the power of human nature" in the article.
-
The author glorified one of the survivors of the plane crash as a hero and extolled his heroic act of saving others. Unlike the usual narrative of events, the author of this article has reflected on the events and raised questions about the interaction between human beings and natural forces. I like this article because it doesn't merely describe the event but also portrays the hero of it. The article concludes with provoking thoughts.
-
Roger Rosenblatt completely breaks free from the farmework of tarditional disaster reporting in this eassy.The central image of"the man in the water" recurs,(from"grasping the life ring" to"pushing it away,from"seen by others"to"unkonwn identity"),creating layered emotional impacts.
Yes, I like this article.Because in this article,while amid chaos,the man's existence proves that the brightest part of humanity emerges most clearly in extreme situations.
-
The author reports this disaster not in the manner of a typical news report but in the form of a story. It can better attract readers' interest and achieve a better effect. I like this article because it tells us what a hero is, and we should learn the qualities from them, learn to respect and remember the heroes, and be the heroes of our own lives.
-
I think this report adds the author's own feelings. I like this article, which teaches me what a hero is and what a hero does not care about fame and fortune.
-
I think the way the author reports on this disaster is unusual. I like this article because the author uses a special perspective to describe and restore the scene that "the man in the water" experienced. This special perspective makes it easier for us to empathize. It also makes it easier for us to imagine that if we were "the man in the water", would we do things the same way as he did? I think I wouldn't, and I believe many of us also wouldn't. Therefore, we are more likely to be moved by his actions. So I like this article.
-
A unique perspective: Instead of focusing on the plane crash itself, the author zeroes in on an unnamed rescuer. It's unlike typical disaster reports that just throw around statistics or focus on the big picture. I like it a lot: This perspective turns the disaster into a celebration of human goodness. Zooming in on an ordinary person packs more emotional punch and makes you think. It blends journalism with literary elements in a clever way.
-
The author uses detailed descriptions to demonstrate the man 's characters instead of simply presenting a terrible plane crash.This way is somewhat unusual . It doesn't just present the who, what, when, where, and why but uses a more artistic and emotional approach to convey the significance of the event.I like the article.Its unique approach enables me to have a stronger emotional resonance, and I deeply admire those seemingly ordinary people around me.
-
The author, from a narrative perspective and using lyrical techniques, presents a great person. The difference lies in the fact that the author doesn't deliberately exaggerate the solemn and tragic atmosphere. I like this article because it can make me feel as if I were on the scene and experience the tense situation at that time.
-
I believe the author’s approach to reporting on this disaster is uniquely innovative. For instance, while we learn about the hero’s actions, the author intentionally withholds his name—a choice that implies any one of us could embody such heroism. By vividly imagining the thoughts and emotions of the man both on the plane and in the water, the author allows readers to delve deep into his inner world. This individual is portrayed not merely as a symbol of kindness, selflessness, and bravery, but also as an ordinary person, which makes his extraordinary actions all the more profoundly moving. Far from being a detached, clinical report, this piece reads like an intimate, personal narrative. Ultimately, this is why the story resonates so deeply with me.
-
The author's way of reporting this article is unique.
This way demonstrates the fight between nature and human beings.It also compares the impersonal and selflessness.I really like this method of description. Because he did not simply and uninteresting narrate an accident, but compared human power with natural power.It expresses the infinite potential of human beings and the good nature of humanity, proving that everyone is not ordinary.
-
I think the author's reporting style is unusual and novel.The most of news that we often learn are pay attention to the things and result rather than a person.I like this article.Because I think the news report should not only focus on the events themselves, but also pay attention to the people involved in them to make more and more people feel the warmth in our society.
-
The author reports this article in a narrative style, which is somewhat unusual. He emphasizes the war between man and nature and the greatness of human nature. I like this article because its focus of discussion is very distinctive, allowing us to see the great side of human nature when fighting against nature.
-
The author's narrative technique is ingenious, making us pay more attention to the humanity reflected in the event rather than the event itself. So I like it very much
-
The author's report on the disaster is highly unusual and compelling. Instead of focusing solely on the crash, it emphasizes human courage and selflessness. I like it for its inspiring message and profound exploration of human nature.
