Interview in class
When i first tried to locate an article on Jennifer Miller, it was really hard for me to find something that looked like it might have a story behind it. I asked Jennifer if she had anything on that had meaning or a story. She told me that she stole the shirt she was wearing from her mom. It was a blue and white colts shirt that said' Cardinal Fitness supports the Colts' on the front. She explained to me that her brother lives and works in Indianapolis at Cardinal Fitness. He gets a bunch of free colts gear and fitness wear. Her brother gave her mom and dad both a t-shirt. She was very upset that she didn't get one, especially because they were free. So over spring break her mom had the shirt on and Jennifer told her that she was going to steal it one day! So when her mom was done doing spring break laundry Jennifer noticed the t-shirt on her moms bed and snatched it up real fast and put it in her back to school bag. She called her mom yesterday and told her that she stole the shirt and she laughed. I think that the shirt symbolizes the relationship that Jennifer has with her family. When she was telling me the story, It really reminded me of my family and me. I always take my moms clothes and she takes mine because we wear about the same size. We act like we are mad when we take each others things, but we aren't really mad, because we are family. Jennifer grew up in a small town called Shipshawana. I think that one can assume that when you live in a small town like that you become very family oriented. I bet she was a little p'od that her brother didn't bother getting her a free shirt! I think that by taking the t-shirt she was making a statement to her brother. I mean no one is actually going to get furious over a free t-shirt, but it could still upset someone. So i think that was a good way to get a point across... I'm sure her brother will give her a free t-shirt soon! haha
