ENG3315 Advanced Writing Assignment 2: Write a profile of a New Yorker you know DRAFT: Printed copy of rough draft due IN CLASS Thursday, Feb. 1 FINAL version: Upload to Blackboard by Tuesday, Feb. 6, @ 11:59 p.m.
Length: about 500-600 words
New Yorkers are characters. Jerry Seinfeld is a comedian, but he’s obsessed with cars. Maybe your accountant spends weekends as a competitive ice-dancing judge. Who knew that the guy who operates the coffee cart is a champion chess player? You only find out if you ask.
A profile is a descriptive, informative, essay about a particular, living person (the subject). The writer’s goal is to focus on something interesting and/or unexpected about the selected person’s life or interests.
Directions: Select a person you know who is willing to be the subject of a profile. Draw up a list of questions, organize a meeting time, and conduct an interview. Be prepared to write down and/or record the subject’s answers. You should get the subject’s permission if you plan to record the conversation.
Organize your material into paragraphs. The final version SHOULD NOT BE IN INTERVIEW format (that is, as a “Q and A”)—it SHOULD BE in ESSAY format.
Write objectively; include both paraphrases and direct quotes from your subject.
Format:
• Use 12-point font
• Double-space
• Type your name on the page
