the monster >:-( (RIP KELLY)

1. The story shows that there is more pressure on the doctor than the patient. The main characer  isn't actually Kelly but it is the doctor.
2.The writer was obviously in the room during the operation. The article seems to be written by a narrator and is more like a story. 
3. The author tells a story with a symbol. The monster is the the metaphor for the aneurysms. This brings more interest in the story because there is a villian or "the monster" except it is also not actually fiction.
4.The repoter told a story and put all the information they had together so it wasn't just what was interviewed and what was observed. I think the work was half and half interview and observation. The reporter got thte information about the wife making lunch from an interview but the doctor at work was observed.
5."In the cold hours of a winter morning Dr. Thomas Barbee Ducker, chief brain surgeon at the University of Maryland Hospital, rises before dawn. His wife serves him waffles but no coffee. Coffee makes his hands shake." This is the opening paragraph and it sets up the story with a hook. The reportter probobaly asked, "What are your mornings like" but with a follow up question about what he eats and why he doesnt drink coffee.
