The Biggest Little Man In The World

A secret to a good article is the smooth flow of ideas which takes the readers from their feet to the shoes of the writer. Andrew Corselli did just that with his article about Manny Pacquiao, The Biggest Little Man in the World.

Corselli used graphic descriptions of how Pacquiao lived during his childhood and adolescence, how he conquered different boxing weight divisions, and what he is like as a person outside the ring. These helped in creating Pacquaio’s image especially to those who are unfamiliar with him.

Despite the lack of response from Pacquiao, Corselli managed to craft a well-written article using anecdotes and insights friends and members of Team Pacquiao shared.

The article however heavily used complex words and sentences which make it difficult for an average reader to understand.

Toward the end, Corselli quoted the very few sentences Pacquiao said. This creates a strong ending for a long article because he kept the focus on his subject.

Had I written a profile about Pacquiao under such circumstances, I would have done the same but use words easy to understand.
