Book club and website

So far in the book we have followed stories of underprivileged people from all over the place and it really has an effect on me personally. I chose the profession I want to be in to help people, even though the profession is now tainted but this really opens my eyes to things the country should be thinking of and not whether to break California into 3 states. It's just a great book that people need to read to be able to understand it's not what you have that makes you happy because these people have nothing. My website link is english280.weebly.com

Follow up interview

For my profile, I started by doing an interview over skype and getting basic information and some short stories about the subject, while also setting up a meeting face to face. After I completed my fave to fave I could see some of the processes we talked about in class that were really helpful, like taking notes and then transcribing them, that was one of the biggest helping tools I had. When I went to write my paper I was thinking about how to approach it and looked at my notes and decided to do a present time and then a flashback because it just seemed right. There are a lot of concepts that I ended up doing to complete my first draft without even realizing it.
