Interview

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.

Crimson Conclusion

-It's nine o'clock on a Wednesday
-A crowd at each station waiting for food
-Chefs and cashiers screaming out numbers in no specific order
- The "Grill" station is over flowing with people and hostility
-Metal Music playing while Basketball game is on the TV(odd combination)
-Conversation at every table which makes it more noisy
-Mixture of different smelling foods but smells delicious
-Different foods such as chicken tenders, burgers, salads, quesadillas, asian noodles, and pizza.
-Tables aren't as clean as usual, probably because it is packed with people. Lucky to get a seat


Crimson is the place to be when wanting a a late night snack or dinner. Since ECC and Tilly close somewaht early, East Campus residents usually go to Crimson for some food when hungry. In fact I actually saw some friends who live at Woodward that were at Crimson because they think it is that good and is worth the ten minute walk in the cold. Crimson is usually a place for residents only since the times of opening and closing which is usually around afternoon and varies to stay open til 11 or 12 o'clock at night. Crimson is usally crowded, but tonight is was hard to find a seat and took longer to get your food. I got a Chicken Caesar Salad which usually takes 5 minutes maximum and tonight I was waiting for atleast 10 minutes if not longer.

Bowling Ball Boulevard

This essay shows a lot of imagery and vivid descriptions which makes it very easy for the reader to read and be interested in. I have indeed been to this rugged bowling alley, but not for some time and this essay made me realize what this alley looks again and makes me feel like I'm actually there observing there lanes and people. By using all five senses the author of this essay puts a clear picture into the readers head and hooks the reader's attention.
 I find this essay very helpful for my project and shows me what my expectations in researching should be. Lots of description and the more details you have is going to make an essay more interesting and keep the reader wanting more enjoyable information.

I pick things up, I put them down.

        A gym can consist of running equipment such as tredmills, bikes, and elipticical machines and also lifting equipment like bench presses, squat racks, and dumbbells. The gym is a place where you can just relieve stress and stay in shape, but personally in my opinion to have fun. Obviously most people go to the gym to better themseleves by lifting weights or running on a tredmill, but do they actually enjoy going? The gym for me is a place I can go to have a good workout that I enjoy, obviously the main reason of going is to become healthier and excercise, but the gym is part of my daily schedule. A missed day at the gym for me can ruin my daily routine and most of the time can be upset at myself,  but obviously i bounce back up and don't let it get to me.
        The main things that I question are: Why do people go to the gym? Do people like going to the gym? Do they feel forced into going to a gym? What excercises are most people doing? What do they look for in a gym? Is there a difference between one gym and another? Soon enough these questions will no longer be mysteries.....
