Spanish colonialism stripped away the land and practices of California Indigenous peoples, but their strength and perseverance prevailed. In order to survive the genocide of their peoples, California Indians had to adapt and learn to survive through various forms. Storytelling and violence, while very different practices, intersect when it comes to California Indians finding a way to survive. According to Deborah Miranda, California Indians have adopted storytelling to keep their violence and suffering remembered and acknowledged; through the use of second person point of view, rhetorical questions, and symbolism, Miranda demonstrates that despite the fact that such tragedies occurred long ago, they still have a recurrent effect on the

She is a member of ASCA and would like to be more active in the conferences and such, but she doesn 't feel that she can take that amount of time away from school. We wrapped up the interview with ‘words of wisdom ' and the main thing that she wanted me to know was how important it is for me to know who I am, what I can and cannot

I interviewed her during one of the days of Thanksgiving break. Before meeting her, I called to make sure she was okay with an interview and that if she wasn’t comfortable with anything she can tell me. She said she was really happy to tell information about herself and that she would be comfortable to say anything. On that day, we sat together at her dining room table and I started the recording with my phone. I asked her questions and she responded with great answers. She didn’t know everything of course, but she replied the best she could. I believe the interview went really well and it felt like a really casual conversation. For the majority of the time she was very upbeat. For example, when I asked her how old she was, she

On Wednesday, January 25 at 10: 30, I interviewed Stephanie Moret, a graduate student at Northern Arizona University. Ms. Moret is an English major, with her specific graduate program being Rhetoric, Writing and Digital Media. Her thesis focuses on how using social media could solve problems with understaffing, specifically in her hometown. Hopefully in a few months she will be able to put her thesis to the test back home, where she hopes to get a job with the city. She will help with their social media and marketing department, as well as overseeing their aquatics department. I met Ms. Moret my first semester at NAU in English 105, where she instructed me on how to write a wide variety of essays both individually and collaboratively. I chose to interview Ms. Moret because I am currently unaware as to what I want to do career wise, however, I know that I will be

For my Interview I interviewed Anne Paine. She is a County Court Judge for the 11th Judicial district. The counties that she mostly covers are Red willow, Furnas, Hitchcock, Hays county. She travels anywhere they need her too. Her main office is located in McCook, Nebraska. Paine, didn’t really want to be a judge at first. She used to be a lawyer and had done that for 19 years. One day she got a call and it was someone telling her that a judge position had become open and they though she would be good at it so they wanted her to apply for the job. Anne said she had never really had any interest in being a judge but her husband had told her that her father who had passed away had always told him that he wanted Anne to be a judge. She then decided to sit down and write the pros and cons of the job and the finally applied for the job. One of the top reasons she decided to be a judge was because she wanted to be able to help kids get to better places. She has now been a judge for 10 years. Paine, had went to law school and explained that to be in law school you had to have an undergraduate degree in something. Hers was English, she had once wanted to be an English teacher. She attended law school for 3 years and had said that it just

Carmina salazar works at a prison and is like a cop. As i facetimed her, i was nervous that she would not answer because she is always busy. She normally doesn't answer because she works all day. I was also sacred she would answer because she was one of the people in florida without power as a result of the hurricane. When she did answer i was ecstatic because we hadn't talked in awhile. I told why i had called her and she was very happy that i had picked her. She asked me why i didn't pick my mom, i told her i picked her because she had more experience. We started the interview. I asked her how the people she hung around with affected her school work. She paused as if she didn't know what to say. She noted that she was older than most of the kids so it didn't affect her.

In the beginning Sophia was a bit nervous and awkward but it was nothing that I have not seen before. As we went further into our conversation, she got better and less nervous or awkward. I can't say that the conversation flew by but throughout the interview, she seemed enthusiastic and interested in what I had to say.

My interviewee's name is Paula Anderson-Worts. She was born in Jamaica back in the 1960’s. However, Paula along with her parents relocated to Florida when she was two years old for an improved life, and in search of the American dream. When Paula started school, she was inspired to become a teacher, doctor, and a fashion designer. Although, all throughout her life people told her she can’t become all those things, she has to select one. Even though this may be true, she still insisted on her dreams. In addition, “she thought it would be unique to follow in her mother’s footsteps”.

Coming into this task, I had never put forth any interest in the aging population. I knew this group was vulnerable and in need of more advocacy to raise awareness but it was not as appealing as other populations. I did not have tremendous knowledge of what aging adults go through on a daily basis or any challenges they so often face. Therefore, when I arrived to the set location of the interview, I was a bit timid and afraid. This was my first time ever interviewing someone of this age with the intensions it was geared for. I was worried of how Denise was going to respond to my personal questions or if she even would. I was completely shocked to find that she was absolutely respectful and willing to answer anything I wanted to ask. After asking

    The person I interviewed was Mrs. L. I know her because she is my mother’s mother. The interview took place at my house and the interview lasted about 2 hours and 20 minutes. I chose to interview Mrs. L because she seems to have done everything right and in the right order to lead to a successful life. I thought it would be interesting to go into depth and find out how she really did it and find out the hardships that came with making a successful family and life. (word count: 90)
