What I noticed in the Rolling Stones Interviews was they always started off with a story that seemed to give the reader back ground information about the person that the interview was based on. For a example in the beginning of the Steve Jobs interview they describe what he looks like walking up to meet the guy constructing the interview. "When Steve Jobs cruises into the airy reception area on the Apple Computer campus in Cupertino, California, on a recent morning, nobody pays much attention to him, even though he's the company's CEO. He's wearing shorts, a black T-shirt and running shoes. Tall and a little gawky, Jobs has a fast, loping walk, like a wolf in a hurry. " This was the first couple of sentences that you read in the article and once you read this description about him you began to get curious as to what exactly he had to day in his actual interview. Something I think that made the interview professional was the depth of detail the author went in in order to explain and get to what he wanted the reader to understand about Steve Jobs. Something I can take from this article and use in my own work is how they began with a story about there person, Then lead you directly into the interview. That's sort of the direction that I would like to lead my written mentor interview in .
