Narrative Lead: There is more going on than the spoken word
Example: A Florida woman wanted bigger breasts and thinner arms so badly authorities say she was willing to break the law to get them.
A good lead, it leaves the reader wanting more. The lead does not address how exactly this lady broke the law, but it addresses her motivation behind doing so.

Contrast Lead: Compare and contrast
Example: In Santa Cruz, Calif., volunteers will re-enact every word and movement in the famous courtroom scene. In Monroeville, Ala., residents dressed in 1930s garb will read aloud from memorable passages. In Rhinebeck, N.Y., Oblong Books will host a party with Mocktails and recorded music by the indie band the Boo Radleys.

I wasn't sure if it was exactly compare and contrast, but I thought so because the lead is comparing all of the ideas together but contrasting all the different ways the different places are celebrating the anniversary of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird.
