Interviewing is very ironic and contradictory becauseyou must be flexible and structurable at the same time. The concept is a huge oxymoron. It is key to have a list of planned questions to ask the interviewee and making sure not to just let them babble, but for you, the interviewer, to have a very open ear and listen to them answer the questions thoroughly. Sometimes listening closely can depict an important artifact or story that you wouldn't have expected to be one.
Questions to ask should be closed and open and range from factual to interesting. In my interviewing section of this paper I will be conducting such topic questions as these that range from a person's personal opinion about something and facts about the community that I am studying. I am very excited to get to know more about my community that I don't already know and people's feelings about this community and the things that surround it.

Interview
In the recent reading the writer vividly describes the atomsphere of the bowling alley to set the tone and mood of the setting. We as the readers can tell that can be a competitve bowling alley with league, but is mostly a family ran atmosphere. She explains that the parking lot is always full which means a lot of people like this alley and we can infer the that atnmosphere, service, and or food is good here which makes people come back.
When interviewing bowlers she puts in great detail and great quotes that tell us about each person she interviews at the bowling alley. An example is when she interviews a woman and she replies that she is going to make it home just on time to watch CSI when she gets back home. As readers we can infer that this woman has more things on her mind than just bowling and really enjoys this hit television series. Another example is when she interviews a the participant, Lauren, and Lauren tells her if you do bad on a Thursday night which is the men's league "they will kill you." Clearly during Thursday nights men take their league very seriously.
In conclusion, the writer does not only interview people, but puts valuable responses into her essay which tells us about the community at the bowling alley. In order to do so you must ask good questions that have good responses and intergrate them into a neatly well-written flow.

The Hangover
For the group presentations my group, The Hangover, will be focusing document design. The importance in a design can represent the website, advertisement, or whatever it may be as a whole. If someone comes across a website or advertisement and the design is awful they are not even going to bother to read what it is about. We are very excited to teach the class about document design and its importance and signifigance.
