Bob Dotson 1


1. The way Bob Dotson writes is very informative. He has been in the news business for a long time and knows a lot of things that other people do not know. He knows a lot of little tips that seem to make his career a lot more interesting than other reporters. He relates a lot of his subjects to the work of other people and compares and contrasts a lot with them. He also has a lot of stories to share.

 

2. I learned from reading pages 9-27 that Bob loves what he does and works very hard to produce high quality films. Also that Bob does things differently than most other reporters and paparazzi. He Brings up important film advice such as the rule of threes and breaking the silence, which people who have a passion for film will probably enjoy and learn from. He likes to make his subject personal with his audience and knows a lot about how conversations work.

 

3. I think the scripts are put in his book for a couple reasons. One reason is to show his thinking process and how he deals with situations differently than other people. Another is to demonstrate his knowledge and skill. I think the scripts are broken up to give them more clarity and power in his book overall.

 


Scene setting: Talks about the tornado in Oklahoma and describe it.

Foreshadowing:  Lady crying talking about a student at her school.

Conflict: Students die in the Oklahoma tornados.

Character growth: Nicolas a 9 year old at a school that always shared his lunch with other students. Talks about girls who always wore hats for hat day. A lot of other students who were smart.

Resolution: No resolution because of the lost students.
