A human interest story is a news story that discusses a person or persons in an interactive and or emotional way. It presents people and their problems, concerns, or achievements in a way that brings about interest or sympathy in the reader.

Don't know what grade you're in nor your age....but check out issues of Reader's Digests....they always carry Human Interest stories.....they're free at your local library.

These are stories of unsolicited, randoms acts of kindness or bravery.....stories of mankind helping mankind.....stories of "miracles" or events with powerful endings that make you smile, tearful, or just say, "wow!"
