The profile essay shows and tells through the use of dialogue and quotes. Descriptions of scenes and settings also reveal useful information. • A strong beginning is essential to give the reader a reason to be interested. • The more time spent with the subject (interviewing) the more revealing the profile will be (pg. 177 CW)
