for Wed. 11/5

Read the following articles, considering the language. Pay attention to how quickly the authors get into description of the place and the people. What kind of detail is being used to set the scene ASAP? How is each neighborhood defined within the larger city that surrounds each?

Also, pay attention to the structures of each article; how the authors decided to organize how to show you each city, and in what order they provided info. 

These articles are meant as some inspiration in your own ethnography writing. As you begin to draft the first pages of that final paper, look at how these published travel writers deal with writing of other cultures.

The first is  article is "36 Hours in Paris."
