(first person account of the interview with Danielle, the interviewee for my 300-word feature)
By Tess Haadsma
Like I mentioned in the print publication, Danielle has gone to my school since sixth grade. We knew each other by name and face, but had never really hung out much before. Danielle is a pretty outgoing girl and has a lot of different friends, and its easy to see why after talking with her, even over the phone. She’s really laid back and has an awesome sense of humor. She also tells a mean story, and the stories of her concert experiences had me in hysterics. After talking on the phone with Danielle, I think I’m going to try to be friends with her, not just acquaintances. (Like I mentioned in print, we’re planning on going to a concert in Detroit this September! Eeek, I’m so excited!) Hopefully, my 300-word feature piece showed the concert experience the way Danielle experiences it. (And the concert’s I’ve been to are pretty similar to those Danielle has been to.) I hope my piece showed the kind of enjoyment one can get from experiencing something they absolutely love, and how people really do live to do those things.
