Leads

Contrast and compare: The seven wonders of the ancient  world were first acknowledged in the first and second century B.C. out of the seven, only one of them remains. The other six have all been destroyed by human violence and by natural disasters. This is why we need Seven new wonders.

Twist: UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) decided to make new seven wonders and electing them by voting over phone and online, but as soon as the riots came up, protesting about this unfair way to decide which seven, UNESCO said they werent involved. suspicious?

Rhetorical Question: What would we be without the seven most wonderful monuments of the world?

  1. I think the first lead is the strongest. I like that it is a rhetorical question, but also has a twist to it, and a sudden change of mood from happiness and excitement to suffering.

  2. I like the idea behind the first lead, but it doesn't really grab your reader's attention. The third does the best job pulling the reader into your piece, but you need to follow it up with an interesting response.
