Exploration 9 Abigail

Part One: I learned a lot from chapter 7. I learned many different ways to write and understand profiles. One main thing I learned was the different lengths and techniques to write them. On 221 it shows how to write a profile with a picture and limited words. On pages 216-219 it is a lengthy profile. They both are able to get the same point across in different ways.

Part Two: I chose to look into the profile of Will Ferrell, one of my favorite actors. His profile talks about his young life and how his comedic career began for him after one of his SNL skits. He then moved back home and landed a spot with The Groundlings, and improve troupe. His first big film was in Austin Powers, then Old School. SNL was desperate to have him on their show and his fame exploded. It impacts us by showing how he started as a normal person like the rest of us and just within a short period of time he was a famous comedian.
