What questions still remain?
Questions that still remain after my interview mostly are ones about my mom giving examples of cases when she missed classes due to being hungover from drinking so much the night before or examples of how she overcame dealing with her hurtful past.
How'd it go?
I felt like it went pretty well overall. There were some parts during the interview where we got a little off topic but i expected that because my mom and I get along so well. I found out specific details about her past that I hadn't known before I interviewed her. The interview not only gave me a good base for what I was going to write about in my paper but it also gave me more of a background on my mom and what she went through. It made me realize that it was her past that made her who she is today.
Where did you conduct it?
Since I do live about 13 hours away from my mother, I was impossible to conduct my interview in person like i would have preferred. Instead we conducted it over the phone and I typed everything she said on my laptop. I went back after the interview and picked out the things I specifically wanted to use in my paper.
What did you learn?
Before being assigned this paper, I had never interviewed anyone. I have however, been interviewed but it was always for basketball. It was difficult for me to narrow down what type of questions I wanted to ask at first but I learned as I started my paper which ones to keep and which ones to throw away. I also learned alot about my mom's background.
How do you intend to transition to the writing process?
I intened to make my mom's answers to my questions flow into my paper and make sense effectively.
What concerns do you have?
Grammar and structure are always my top two concerns whenever I am writing a paper. For this specific paper another concern would be that my quotes flow effectively throughout my paper.
I expect to reread my paper and also have others read it was well to get alot of feedback to make sure my paper is effective and makes sense.How do you expect to overcome them?
