From these two articles I can identify what makes “the art of profiling” in a different genre from other works of literature. In order to profile a subject you must stick to one thing the subject does and do not talk about much else that they do. In the article Bernie Goetz, Squirrel Vigilante the author discusses who he saves squares and not much else. Socha does not bring up his any other skills he might have or if he has another career. She only talks about his work with squirrels.

When profiling a subject it is best to start off with a back story. This might give the reader more of an idea into who this character is and what they do that makes them so special. In  Bernie Goetz, Squirrel Vigilante the author talks about who he was in the past ( a notorious murder) to who he is today ( a squirrel rescuer). Starting off with a store also seems to engage the reader more than just starting off with what they do.

These kinds of articles could be sectioned off into different parts. In the Sean Casey, Pet Rescuer has different sections for the work he does,  how he started rescuing pets and where his company is today.

These kinds of writing are also very descriptive. There is alto more showing then telling.  Knight writes,  “Casey is an unassuming figure. He walks with a slight slouch and dresses in shades of gray, black and navy blue, trading a t-shirt for a hoodie in cooler months. In conversation, he tends to avoid eye contact. His short brown hair lies flat against his scalp. He holds his face in a perpetual neutral expression. Casey’s impenetrability can read as social awkwardness, or aloofness. He seems, almost, too quiet.”  Instead of saying that Casey is a quite simple guy from Brooklyn, NY this causes the reader to paint a picture in our minds of what Casey might look like if he was standing right in front of us
