Key Features List:

· Incredible subject: The subject would be about a surprising things. If the subject is normal, try to integrate a special person, location or incident. Thereby, your subject would look much more appealing.  

·           Basic information: Profiles should consist fair amount of details in order to make the profiles’ story or texts clear and more comprehendible for the audience.

·           Focusing on a specific aspect: A well written profile is the one that focus on a specific point. You should look for the information that just relate to your subject.

·          Effort on searching: you have to put effort on noting, detecting and getting connected to your subject. For instance, the subculture interview is a way of getting connected to your subject.

·          Alluring descriptions: illustrating your details, and making them sensible. So the audience can get hooked within it.

 

Pick one of the two essays listed above.  Discuss how that essay does or does not do a decent job of profiling.  What does the writer do well, in terms of the key features?  Does not do well?

I picked to write about “Drawn to a Larger Scale” by Alex Williams. As the profile was more appealing to me. I think the author did a good job covering most of the key features, but I have comments on some points. He wrote about a tattoo artist named Scott Campbell, who pursues his passion in tattooing. He points out the incredible talent of Campbell, who became a famous tattoo artist without formal training, then was invited to an interesting site, and this is New York gallery, where only prestigious artists participate. Also, he gave an enormous background of Campbell from childhood till his current state. However, I think giving such background about Campbell’s background made the article become broader than narrowing it to a particular angle. The author was greatly interacting to Campbell’s work and story. Nevertheless, the article was pretty detailed, and made me as an audience imagine the incidents. Overall, I think the article was a very good profile.

      I think first profile, Paperclip Man, is the best one because actually it is long so I did not want to read all at first, but this story was interesting and I have never heard it also this story was written detailedly. Moreover, this writer tried to make me concentrate on his profile because, he put the some parts to let me feel curious or make me imagine the situation such as description of the other weird records or the process of Dan’s challenge and so on. The most thing I pick this story is that this story improved how trust this was. I mean the writer kept showing the real broadcast cameraman and report or several broadcast companies.
