This was a story focusing on a event that changed Harlem's life almost radically. Harlem is a man who moved to New York to start a business. Later on, he partners up with someone else to create a bar in which he met two people who invited him to a rodeo that was out of New York. As the comedian that he is, he decided to give it a chance for he has a very positive attitude; it could be due to the fact that he is a comedian, plus he enjoys going through new experiences. He eventually began to like going to rodeo and therefore attended one during the 9/11 unforgettable event. He felt very much worried for when this happened because his mother worked really close to the Twin Towers and he had family in New York. The people in the rodeo eventually got to know him well and became a very close to them so they comforted and supported him. They made sure that he knew that they were there for him. He truly appreciated this moment and was very flabbergasted to know that he had good friends there. Some of the questions that may have been asked for this interview(story) may have been the following:
- Did you live anywhere else before New York?
- What did you wish to accomplish in New York?
- Describe a moment that you were not expecting to occur.
- Describe an intense moment in which you felt like you were worried.
Going Home-Cristel's Diary
This story is about a fifteen year old who was incarcerated for viciously attacking a girl who was her classmate, which was also her rival, with a razor blade. She speaks about her experience in the jail. Cristel has a daughter. The story was quite interesting because it had live sound from when people came to visit her and when she narrates the story as if was a diary. The story gave me intense goosebumps because of the way she described the event, with sound effects and detail.She also speaks about what her childhood was like. She had a rough childhood that included seeing people on drugs and witnessing the police breaking into her home. Through out her incarceration she went from being a "punk ready to fight the word" to a "very loving adult and mother". Her change is so drastic that it impacted many of the people who worked in the jail. Questions that may have served for the interview may have been the following:
- What was your childhood like?
- Describe a moment that changed your life completely.
- What was the hardest thing you went through during your incarceration?
- What do you think your life may have been like if you had never done what you did?
- What went through your mind when you were set free?
