Writing about people or events

[Kingetter]

Imagine you've been set a task, to write about someone or an event - how would you go about it?
Given another task, which would you rather write about, people or events?

[Saveman]

I think I most enjoy reading the human experience during momentous events. Third person commentary of several peoples viewpoints of one event can be eye-opening.

Would you be able to offer us an example perhaps?
