Transcripts & Interviews

Transcripts Interview 1 - Susan Interviewer: Today I interviewed Susan, who told me her story during the vietnam war. Although she did not fight in the war nor participate in any manor, her brother 'John' was. Her is what Susan had to say about her past. Interviewer: How old were you when the vietnam war started? Interviewee: I was 17, still in school and living in Aukland, New Zealend. Interviewer: Did the vietnam war affect you or anyone in your family? Interviewee: Not me directly. But my brother was 18 in the year that the conscription of young men began to go as troops to vietnam. My mother was very upset by this because she didn't want her beloved, youngest child to be sent off to a war, so she was thinking up all sorts of medical reasons why he couldn't be conscripted. But in the end, his name was not called out of the ballet. So everything calmed down after that in our family. Interviewer: How did you feel about your brother potentially going to wa...

closed/open

Open & Closed Questions Friday: Open and closed questions are two types of questions that are asked, but in this case they are used used in interviews. Both questions are used repeatedly but have different answers. Open questions are questions that are open for for an answer, and answers that can have multiple different alternatives. However, closed questions are questions entirely based on a fixated answer, being yes or no, good or bad. The answer to a closed question starts with either yes/no or good/bad, however, after one of these has been said they interviewee can expand the on the answer with the knowledge they have on it specifically.

Interesting person

I met and interviewed this interesting young chap named James J Jamie today, 24, who lives in the 'Isle of White'. Today we discussed his interesting life, including his hobbies, his current job and his dream job, his favourite food, drink and shop. I started this interview with a simple question asking how his day was, making sure the interview didn't feel formal. He replied with good, but I haven't eaten today.  James J Jamie works as a sand blaster, he doesn't mind working in this role, however he would much rather work as a demolisher as it is his dream job.  He enjoys eating glass as its his all time favourite, he likes to eat at any pub, as he loves getting in to fights by smashing people with the glass from his drink of beer. I also found out that he is anti-plastic which helped me to understand his passion for glass.
