    Walter Cronkite, Anderson Cooper, and George Plimpton; three reporters who not only reported a story, but decided to live their story. In mid February 1968, Walter Cronkite embedded himself in Vietnam during the Vietnam War to cover the Tet Offensive. In 2012, Anderson Cooper embedded himself in Syria during the, still ongoing, Syrian Civil War to cover the atrocities of President Assad’s regime against his own people. In 1963, George Plimpton embedded himself with the National Football League’s Detroit Lions to cover the life of a professional quarterback. Plimpton’s adventure may be less dangerous, but he’s still a journalist with an interesting story to tell. All journalists will run into strange and interesting stories in their career, however, journalists must be ready for any possibility. Like Dan Rather once said "When the going gets weird, anchor men punt." In Plimpton’s case, this was almost a literal possibility. Throughout “Paper Lion”, Plimpton makes it clear that despite personal risks and lengthy processes, he is dedicated to getting the real story, or in this case, the true athlete’s experience. Paper Lion is based off Plimpton’s experiences with the Detroit Lions as a third string quarterback during training camp. Even in the opening, George is confused for an Episcopalian minister when he arrives at the training camp. George doesn’t quite fit the image of an NFL quarterback. This is based solely on George’s muscular build, not his…

    Born in May of 1958, in the town of Killeen, Texas, she was born to be a writer. She began her collegiate studies at Auburn University. In 1981, she received her bachelor's degree from Colgate University. Following this, she received a master's degree from the University of Iowa’s Writers’ Workshop. After this, she furthered her pedigree by earning her second master's degree in linguistics which also came from the University of Iowa. In 1998, her work was an alternate for the PEN/Hemingway Award, and also won a Whiting Award and the Nelson. The novel, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, won Book of the Year in 2006, which is also what this paper is about. The content mentioned in paragraph one clearly illustrates why she wrote the book, and how it influenced her life. She not only made her name solidified in the field of writing, but also she wrote the book for the right reasons. The story told by the pastor influenced her although it did not come full circle until she went to a writing workshop and saw those who were disabled. She then began to think that she could make the novel work. She started writing the book and finished the first chapter rapidly, and then finished at a slower pace. Thus it is clear that through the events in paragraph one she learned more about down syndrome, following this thus influenced her life in a positive…

Barry addresses the conflict’s she comes to face while trying to determine her place as a writer.

    She finds a way to rebel (no matter how small), by writing all of her stories, so that in turn, all of her readers can “pass on the tradition” of her life. With her persistence in writing to God with everything she sees and hears and feels, she is unconsciously telling herself that she deserves to be heard; even if it’s just through her writing that no one is going to see but God and her sister.…

    Narrative Rough Draft

    I never used to write. In fact, I didn’t much like it. Little did I know that writing would become obsolete and a physiological requirement for the well being of my life. From an early age on all I did was read. I grew up in an isolated environment where books were my escape, and escape was necessary from the hardships of home. I remember being a young seven-year-old boy wearing a pillowcase around my neck fastened with a pen. I was eating animal crackers at the time, and my step dad was calling out for me. I stood up from my crouched position and raised my hand as I learned from pre-school, and said, “ I’m here daddy.” At that moment my step father grabbed me by the cape harshly compressing my trachea purposefully, shaking me back and forth with his hands around my neck as I began to choke on the appetizing cracker animal crumbs within the back of my throat. I didn’t understand at the time what was really going on. My mother came out of the room and my dad acted as if nothing happened and told me to…

    In the book Bird By Bird by Anne Lamott, the author takes the reader through a crash course in writing a story. I found the book helpful in many ways. However, I also found a plethora of information that I will never use and didn’t need to read. Instead of giving tips on how to write college papers, which is what I was looking for, the author went in depth about the life of an author. The three most important things I took from this book were; the importance of getting things down on paper, the concepts of shitty first drafts and short assignments, and using index cards for note taking.…

    It is any authors dream to be published. They have written their work, and think that it is the best they can do. However, when it comes time for them to publish what they have done, many authors find that publishers do not print everything that comes across their desks. Most of what an author tries to get into print is rejected, especially new authors. This group has an even more difficult time getting work laid out onto paper because they as writers are unknown, with book companies wishing to release works from more well-known authors as the public knows the older writers are good and do not want to spend money on some ones work that they have never heard of. In order to become published a new writer should…
