Interviewing people in one's ethnographic location may seem tricky. Like who to talk to? A variety is definitely the right choice. By reading this example of the interview process gave myself a great perspective on how to do this assignment. I loved how she not only got to know some of the bowlers, but she got to know the owner's kids too. I think it brings depth into the paper and makes the information a little unpredictable and makes it a bit easier to read. I like the part of the kids running with the ball and throwing it to have fun, while the older brother plays a bit more seriously. The detail of the kids gave me a nice visual and made me realize when I was younger back in the day. Also I loved the contradiction of what she thought of the lack of mothers there, but in reality there was a plathera of mothers there with their children. The contradiction makes her new observations seem real to read and valid. Lastly, the introduction to the interview paper was pleasing as well. I liked how she gave a background of the history of bowling beforehand to let us know what she's actually observing and where it came from. Not only was the paper informative, but it had bits a comic relief as well. When it comes time to start my paper I'll have these great examples in mind and use them to good use.
