summary of learning how to write a feature profile(both parts)

part one
Features should have conflict for the main character. Without conflict the writing is uninteresting and there is no challenge. There should be a certain news angle on how and why the story is being written. There should be a setting in the story of when and where the character is to set a tone. Setting isn't all that significant but the reader needs to know when it happened. There should be a main character that is developed so the reader can have human interest. There should be a certain perspective. There should be a strong voice in the writing showing that the narrator knows what they are talking about. The story should have lots of information and a strong plot.
part two
This feature talks about scenery to describe the person. First you need to get some background information to at least know who you are dealing with. Then the writer described the person and their actions, I think this makes the feature more detailed.In "Where's Jake Scott" there is conflict. Conflict definitely makes the article more interesting. Conflict draws in the reader and adds human interest. In this feature the writer puts himself into the article a lot which I don't think is the best idea when you are talking about somebody else's story. The feature should be a story with at least a beginning and a middle but there doesn't necesarily need to be an end because that can also add more interest as well. There should be an in depth understanding of what the main character does.

    Jake Scott grade: Your response is short and some of what you wrote talks more about the Gisondi article without a clear reference to the Hyde article. 87
