Audience Persona

1.
Tina is a mother of two beautiful girls. She is Happily married of 15 years. In her free time she enjoys catching up with her three close friends over cocktails at the pub downtown. Tina would say that her life is pretty good right now.

Growing up Tina loved to read books. She was always fascinated about history. Whether it be the civil war, or how humans came to walk the earth, she just loved to read. Every Christmas she got 5 books that were at the top of her list. This tradition continued until she moved out onto her own, and started making a family for herself.

After having kids, she knew that reading was something that she wanted the entire family to enjoy, so she read to her kids before they went to sleep, and as they grew old enough they began to read on their own about books to their like. This gave Tina time to venture out on her own as well. Tina recently bought the book Night; she wanted to learn about something new. She was intrigued by the this book and decided that the holocaust serious was something she couldn't put down.

2.
Roth is a middle aged Jewish man who teaches math in California. Roth was known to be an independent person that liked to read books in his free time. With all this free time Roth not only liked to look up books, but since his family had been disconnected due to most of them being deceased, he liked to research about the holocaust.

Roth didn't have those precious memories that are typical of a young boy. He remembered being alone, and living with a foster family. In doing his research he found out who his birth parents were and decided to look them up. In the journey of hunting them down. He found out a lot about his family and what they had to go through to get here to the US.

One would think that there comes a time when enough is enough, but for Roth knowing every bit of detail was a must have; its as if he almost became addicted.
