Answers to Questions

By Lyndsay Rowley

1. In the profile section of the reading I learned that she shortest profiles are really just single paragraphs within a larger story.  These help your reader to move through the piece.  In the section on travel writing I learned that it is a good idea to keep two journals.  One for the story you are assigned to write and another for personal experiences that may be used in a future project.  In the section on history in the reading I learned that it is a good idea to look at primary documents first and then at books that other historians have written on the subject.  Newspapers sometimes aren't a good idea because they aren't always reliable sources for factual information.

2. After reading this story I feel really disturbed.  I am a single girl and it scares me that there are men out there like this.  The girls said he was fine at first so there was no way of knowing he was going to turn into a psycho.  On another note...the part about the torturing animals really disturbed me also.  The cat and bunny stories were absolutely cruel.
