Unit 9 Assignment 1: Reviewing a Profile
1. Profiles belong to a very “stretchy” and versatile genre. These profiles of Griffith Park differ greatly, but they both describe the same place.
a. Each profile discusses different points. One profile talks about narrative, and the other one talks more about the location, and then times and regulations.
b. They are both talking about Griffith Park, but they are both talking about different sub topics which cover different points.

e. The general information piece gave me more information about the park, and helps me understand it more. The other piece is explaining more of a dislike towards L.A which makes me lean towards not wanting to visit L.A.

3. Which kind of profile would you most enjoy writ-ing? Or would you rather write something that falls between the two? Explain your choice. I would write something that falls in between both. I like to be informed about a place before I visit it, especially if it is somewhere foreign or new. I like to
