Examples Of Interview With My Mother

Decent Essays

My interviewee was my mom. I chose to interview her because she lived in many different places. My mom’s name is Meredith Adams, her maiden name was Porcelli. Our interview went well, I knew a lot about my mom already because she talks a lot, but I learned some new things about her. It was still really fun to interview my mom.
My mom is forty years old and what really surprised me was how much technology has changed in forty years and how much society has changed because of it. When my mom was growing up, if you left the house, nobody could contact you until you got back. There were no answering machines or caller ID. There was another question I asked my mom that surprised me.

Now I see why that is not a good idea because you could disagree with your significant other about something big after the wedding and ruin the marriage. That would be horrible if you both disagree with each other about major things after the wedding and have to divorce. That would be a waste of a wedding. My mom and dad agree with each other on most things and compromise on something if they both don’t agree on something. They have been happily married for eighteen years.
My favorite question and answer from my interviewee was “What was your favorite place you lived?” I liked this question because she moved many different times. She packed her
