Provide short-answer responses (1 paragraph/question) to the following:

2. The writer doesn’t assume her audience is super-familiar with these lifestyle trends, and succinctly provides the necessary context to understand the story. Where does she do this? (Copy and paste a paragraph.)

3. What is the writer’s message? Where in the piece do you see this message coming across?

4. How would you describe the writer’s style?

5. Find a quote from the subject (Amanda). What question might the writer have asked in order to receive this response? What do you think the writer gained by writing the piece as a profile instead of a Q&A format?
