Blog #3, semester two.

Post links to two exemplary interviews that you can use as models for your mentor interview.

Under each link, describe the writing techniques that the author/interviewer uses to create a finished piece of writing that both accurately portrays the interview subject as well as results in a polished work that the reader can enjoy.

Consider the structure of the overall piece, what information is in the beginning and/or end, if an introduction is used, if there is additional writing throughout the piece, if there are references to any follow up questions, physical formatting, etc.

Semester 2, Blog #2.

What have you read lately (say, since last semester), that you found interesting?

Well I started to The Color of Water and it's pretty good so far, it was recommended by a lady at my church and I started to read it and it was pretty interesting and the way the words are used makes the reader understand what the author is trying to portray. I recommend this and the link is at the bottom of the page for a summary.

Why did it catch your attention?

Because it has a great use of words and I like the way he describes the story because it's almost like you are there and you can picture everything that is happening!
