Where's Jake Scott?

1. Gisondi said feature profiles take a lot of effort and you could see Dave Hyde worked hard to find Jake Scott, get him to talk, and to watch him for two days. It was obviously not easy for Hydeto get to Scott, but he persevered and got a good story. Hyde adds conflict like Gisondi said you should do. There is conflict between Scott and the outside world and conflict between Scott and Shula. The first conflict is resolved, but the second conflict isn't. Gisondi said the conflict didn't have to be resolved. Gisondi said to determine why you are writing the story and that is what Hyde did. He had his three questions he wanted answers to and he stuck with those three to get to know the most important information for the reader to know. All of his other communicated with Scott is to set himself up for those three questions and when he gets to them he gets the answers he was looking for. Hyde also follows Gisondi's advice when he says to put the person in a place. He puts Scott all over Hawaii which makes it easier to follow the story. It also shows why Scott likes Hawaii so much and why he chose to live there. Gisondi said to develop the main character and Hyde does that also. He shows the way Scott lives, acts, and thinks. He dosen't make Scott be all good or all bad either. Gisondi said to learn a lot about the person and Hyde does that. Hyde is also fair and looks at all of the sides to Scott's conflicts. Gisondi said to stay with the main character for a long time and Hyde stays with Scott for two days. He was able to become like a friend to Scott.
