1. I learned that Bob Dotson likes to his own approach on the story. He also likes to think outside the box and get ideas most people wouldn't normally have. Bob really likes to make the people in his interviews uncomfortable because then it will lead to more conversations. According to Bob you shouldn't come out too strong for an interview because then it will put more pressure on them to talk and you wouldn't have a good interview. One of his best techniques was the Non-Question/Question which can help bring more into the conversation than before.

2. I also learned the different type of ways that interviews can be taken. Also how to intrigue your interviewer by asking the right questions and having the right approach to make sure they talk back. Also i learned how filling the silence can make people want to talk more and they don't even know it. Filling in the  silence is a technique many reporters or people trying to get a story use to get information out of their subject.

3. In each column it was telling a little bit about each victim who died in that tragic shooting. Some of the columns were showing how some of the girls classmates felt and how much they missed their friends. Also it was showing how he was filling the silence and making the students talk more and more about how special their friends were to

4.The scene of this shot was at a pool party with a group of kids on an ordinary spring hot day. It was a nice time for them to sit back and relax and enjoy the sun. They were soon scared when they saw a vicious beast approaching. Foreshadowing came when he said things can be pretty unbearable. He said that because it was a live bear running through the neighbors backyards and swimming pools. The conflict of this enormous problem was that a grizzly bear was on the loose in a common backyard which could really harm people. Luckily no one was hurt during the bears little free time which is always a good sign. As the reporter was talking about the story his level of his voice seemed to get more and more worried the closer this bear came to the people that was the character growth. The resolution to this story was that the people became aware of the bears early so they were able to clear the area and get inside before the bear could do any harm or danger.
