Diversity
The story about the life and times of a Minneapolis bus stop involves all the ethnic, cultural, and racial diversity one could possibly fit into a story. The reporter for the story not only moves beyond the stereotyping, but becomes part of the story. The story is really told in the dialect and language that occurs between the various bus patrons. This story doesn't feature the data that most stories do, but it isn't really needed. The reporter uses the quotes she hears and the situation she observes between races and cultures. These interactions are what make the story. They help the reader begin to understand about the people they share the bus with, and how they really aren't so different. Thats what I took away from the story.
