               Writing    Part 2 Article

               A newspaper has asked readers to submit articles on the subject of mystery for their
               special weekend supplement. The article should briefly describe a mystery, and touch
               upon why it is mysterious. The article should then broaden out to discuss why people
               find mysteries so captivating.

               Write your article .
               For more information on writing articles, see page 192.
