1. Mentorship question: Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship? If you haven't found one yet, describe your experience so far in the search of a mentor.
Upon working at the Claremont Courier, I have come to understand an abundance of both techniques and a variety of aspects that are implemented into this field of writing. Through my mentorship I have learned how to properly format articles, discovered the bittersweet sense you often experience after completing extensive research, and the joys of what it means to be a journalist. While I am still confined to my computer, I have yet to grasp the concept of the duties and expectations a reporter is entitled to.
2. Research question: What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?
The most important source that I have read so far is an excerpt from Sondra Perl's, Writing True: The art and craft of creative nonfiction, which explains the the origin and definition of creative nonfiction and what aspects encompass the genre itself. Also, the techniques and references made throughout each chapter have allowed be to obtain a stronger grasp on the concept as a whole.
