Learning about Feature Writing and preparing for "The Stranger" article

Although I have read many newspapers and feature stories, I never realized how many categories of feature writing there are. A feature story, I've learned, can basically be written about anything that has to do with human interest. The stories are much more interesting besides being factual. I am really looking forward to writing my first feature story on the stranger. I love learning about other cultures and traveling and have studied abroad in both Spain and Argentina. I know what it feels like to be an outsider and have people look at you and think about you differently. I am excited to interview someone who feels this way in the United States. The U.S. is a place where many people come for jobs and a better life. Many people look at the U.S. as a land of opportunity an it will be interesting to see it from their perspective.
