Profile Examples

Hello All,

For this blog, read (at least) one of the following profiles:

Streets of Sorrow (about Hollywood)
California Dreamin' (about Big Sur)
Desert Byways (about Death Valley)
Eliza Grace, the Mojave, and Me (about Death Valley)

Then, describe one writing technique the author does especially well.
Make sure not to duplicate another student's post.

Profile

Hello All,

As the assignment description on the syllabus states, your next assignment is to write a profile of a place in Kern County (if you live outside of Kern County, choose a place near where you currently live). Your profiles must use two sources, one of which must be an interview. The file I posted to Blackboard gives suggestions as to how to conduct an effective interview.

For this post, just name . . .

1. The place you plan on profiling;
2. The person you plan on interviewing as your first source;
3. The second source you plan on using.

These are not binding, so you are free to change your mind at any time.
