Well for homework, I have to read the lyrics of 'No Thugs In Our House' and write a news article based on this event, which is also based on the model 'Race Attack Victim', which is another news article about someone who gained rights to sue the police after they mistreated him as a witness of a crime. I have to write this news article, it is due tommorow, and I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START! T.T Can someone help me on this? I really don't get how to do this...

a little late to be asking for help. so you have to analyze lyrics from a song and basically right a news article on it, right?

Pretty much, but it says I have to base it on the model of the 'Race Attack Victim' news article. But I really don't know where to start or what I write in my first paragraph. I know the structure, where It's in columns, with a snappy headline, and follows the format of an inverted pyramid, with all the important facts at the start. Other than that, I don't know anything.

introduce your topic for the first paragraph, summarize it enough to make someone want to keep on reading. use the 'Race Attack Victim' news article as a reference too. im a tad too tired to say anymore though, i apologize.

My topic...? The question says write a news article about the song, but I really don't know what to cover, so do you have any ideas? P.S. Sorry for troubling you if you're tired.
