Document Summary
Profile on mr. rogers: https://www. esquire. com/entertainment/tv/a27134/can-you-say-hero-esq1198, repetition is an amazing force in writing, old rabbit, the hook that comes back. Tips for profiles: a profile is not simply an interview with someone, you can still do an impressive profile on someone who refuses to speak to you- ex. Frank sinatra has a cold. you interview people around them: put the subject in the middle and interview around them. Ken burns: on story: stories are better when 1+1= 3. There are the facts of the story, but the 3 is the theme. 3 is what its really about: manipulate the truth in an acceptable way- what quote you choose to put against what fact. Not in a disingenuous way, but to make the reader feel what you felt when you heard it. Let the reader take the same journey as you and unfold that story.
