The Hot Sauce: May 2007
http://sauceishot.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 30, 2007. I really liked Charlie's pick for this week with the article "Elite Colleges Open New Door to Low-Income Youths" by Sara Rimer in. The New York Times. I think that this piece is a great example of something short, sweet, and interesting. The piece then flashes back quickly, which does a good job of providing personal background information. The flashback is inserted at just the right moment to allow the reader to continue building Jack's character. Wednesday, May 23, 2007. In abo...

The Hot Sauce: Profile: First Draft
http://sauceishot.blogspot.com/2007/05/profile-first-draft.html
Tuesday, May 1, 2007. 8220;Have you heard the story about the runner guy? 8221; Bruce Johnson asks me, smiling. 8220;No, I haven’t,” I reply. “What runner guy? It’s 7:00 AM on a Saturday morning, and Bruce,. Bruce is obviously used to this, because I yawn as he gives me one of those life lessons that is sneakily concealed in a story about “some guy”. Bruce Johnson, I realized, is still running. Despite the fact that he recently underwent knee replacement surgery, he planned on loading eight banquet t...

The Hot Sauce: Ria Cortesio: Response
http://sauceishot.blogspot.com/2007/05/ria-cortesio-response.html
Monday, May 7, 2007. First, I thought the lede was a fairly interesting anecdote, but it definitely could have had some more "umphf" to it. What it did do, though, was give a good introduction to character and theme. I always appreciate stories getting to the meat more quickly. Nonetheless, as I said in the first paragraph, the subject matter is interesting to me, and I was again glad to see the writer get to the point so quickly. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Elle Parle: Week 8 Reading Response
http://lindseymavian.blogspot.com/2007/05/week-8-reading-response.html
Wednesday, May 16, 2007. Week 8 Reading Response. The second and third page dragged on to me. It seemed like I was reading a text book and it was not interesting. Perhaps there was not enough action for me, but I agree that the author could have been more successul had she removed herself from the piece. The stories she recounts about the people she meets are more interesting to me. The lack of direct quotes is boring. Lindsey M. Craig. May 16, 2007 at 8:26 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Elle Parle: Last Reading Response!
http://lindseymavian.blogspot.com/2007/05/last-reading-response.html
Wednesday, May 30, 2007. The article linked on Charlie G's website, Elite Colleges Open New Door to Low Income Youth, seemed more like a profile than a feature. It definitely had potential to be a feature had stories of other low income youths been shared. However, the focus was on Jack at Amherst. Regardless, I really enjoyed reading this article. Lindsey M. Craig. By the way, profiles ARE features (as are personal essays). We'll talk about definitions tonight! May 31, 2007 at 9:09 AM. Spring has Sprung...

Elle Parle: April 2007
http://lindseymavian.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 30, 2007. An Eccentric Version of a Party Store. The pickled asparagus selection and the jar of Rosenburg Danish blue cheese in oil are not typical products of your average college-town booze store, nor expected products of a manager with such a cavalier attitude. At the end of the room a “Limited Access” sign hangs on a glass door that separates the already vast wine selection with the even more overwhelming wine selection that deserves its own temperature controlled space....Although Tiff...
