Gathering Info

I enjoyed the article about the different Jewish sect, and felt the way he gathered information was interesting. The writer didn't include many statistics or too many sources which I feel added to the story. The main focus on Schmidt adds to the storyline. With Lubavitch being a personal choice, and a rather individual experience rather than the more ordered and structured group participation of normal Judaism, the personal experience and generally singularly focused storyline of this article mirrors and shows the point of the article.

By keeping the story following Schmidt and bringing into play only people that affect him in his daily life, and his Lubavitch experience, it personalizes the article. By following one person's story the reader can place themselves inside that experience and feel the sensations and message that the author is trying to get across.
