1.How does the writer reflect on the interview process? Are the internal thoughts of the writer towards the informant expressed? Quote at least 3 examples.
-I didn't notice internal thoughts of the writer directer at the informant. Mostly provided information on what the informants said and not direct quotes about the questions she asked them.
2.What differences in terms of race, class, gender, etc. are discussed regarding each informant? List examples from each interview segment.
- I don't know much about Sam by the description , I can assume that they are in the same grade. Spencer is a freshman here and is a tall, skinny, boy.
3.How does the writer characterize his or her informant? Do you think there should be more physical description, material description, background, or nonverbal communication to better understand the person and interaction?
-Background info was good... describe nonverbal communication and a physical description of Sam.
4.Do the informants seem to be full characters you could describe with unique worldviews? Quote any examples that helped you know the informant’s worldview.
-I could not assume worldviews accept that they prolly support things like gay marriage and such.
5.Each interview should be distinct from the other and in narrative form. What is the story being told about each interview? Describe them separately here.
She goes back home to interview Sam and the second interview is done here at school.
6.What is the thesis for interview 1? What is the thesis for interview 2? Are these theses truly theses—that is, do they make surprising and specific claims that need support to be accepted by an audience? If not, what’s the problem?
thesis 1- judgement
thesis 2-judgement
The main theme here is judgement but that isnt very surprising to me.. she should dig a little deeper!
Does there seem to be a balance of summary and quotation? Or does one mode seem overused or underused?
More interview, less summary :)
For each interview, what do you think the writer most wanted to know?
1- she wanted to know about when they first came out and what people think about it
2-wanted to know how his parents felt about it
What is the verbal art discussed? Do you think it fits the criteria of verbal art? What’s the deeper level of meaning for the culture?
a piercing maybe?... it doesnt really fit though... needs to add some verbal art!
What new knowledge do you have after reading these interviews? What would you still like to know about the culture?
I knew most of what she talked about just from observing that culture in everyday life
On your copy cross out any portions of the paper you think are irrelevant to understanding the informant, the culture, or the writer’s perspective. Don’t be shy. The writer doesn’t have to take your advice.
Comment on the organization. Does it seem to be working?
Working.. just need more detail
Comment on the writing style. Is it gripping enough to hold an average reader’s attention?
yeah i feel like i can hear her talking when i read it but maybe thats just cause shes in my class!... add more interesting and shocking details that people wouldnt know about!
What’s the single most important thing this writer could do to improve this paper before it’s graded?
just adddd more... get deeper into the subculture?!
