What happened

Sam Mintesnot had checked off everything she possibly could have from a long list of to-dos in preparation for the Coachella music festival.

Why it matters

She crafted the best outfits, got her hair and nails done, booked a one-way ticket to Los Angeles and flew out on Tuesday with a spreadsheet full of ideas for videos she could post related to the festival.

Common ground

The only problem was that just days before the Coachella kicked off on Friday, she didn’t have a ticket — at least, not yet.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
