The Atavist Magazine: When the Devil Enters

This article opens with a character and a scene in past tense. The first paragraph begins with a background story of one fire that had happened and gives a detailed description of the house and the room that was burning. Then the story leads into a character description of Antonino Pezzino and where he is from.

I believe the nut graph here is the investigations of why these unexplained fires are happening in this town. Beginning from scientific, and political to religious and spiritual. The way that the article is set up takes the reader on a journey of trying to find out why this is happening as the story develops.

Through much investigation, theory, and speculation Pezzino and his son Giuseppe were put on trail for starting the fires because of footage of them both being present and acting suspiciously when the fires had started.

The conclusion ends that the people of Sicily love drama and want to distort facts for their own personal reasons and desires instead of truly looking for the truth.
