The reading by Atkinson provides information on using life stories approach in various disciplines. By using life stories the researcher noted that we gain context and recognize meaning about individuals experiences. There are four classic functions of stories including psychological, social, mystical-religious and cosmological. The reading also highlighted some benefits of telling one’s life story. For instance, sharing one’s story is a way of releasing certain burden and gives us a better sense of how we want our story to end. The last part of the reading explained guidelines that will prepare or get one ready to do an interview. The guidelines includes finding out who you want to interview and learn more about. The last step is encouraging the individual to share their story by being a good listener and asking open ended questions. The reading by Silverman discussed in-depth information about open-ended interviews. There are several problems the interviewer must resolve when doing open-ended questions such as deciding how to present yourself, gaining and maintaining trust to ask sensitive question and establishing rapport with the respondents. The reading also expressed many interactional practices when conducting qualitative interviewing. These practices involves trying to interact with the person by understanding their experience and that interviewers are active participants. The reading by Bernard also provided detailed information on interviewing
Cameron Academy, the place where it all started for me. The first ever school that I had gone to. It was the place where I learned to fear anyone older and bigger than you because the teenagers there were not above fighting kindergarteners. Where I learned that the safest place to be after school was the office because the fights between the police and the students that took place outside on the front steps of the school were too brutal for me to witness; at least that's what my mom told me. That school was the place where I learned to be ashamed of any art that I may produce, to always keep it to myself, lest I be laughed at by the teachers. Cameron Academy is where I learned that “bad” kindergarteners who were in Ms. Valorie’s class got beat up.
I personally think that in personal narrative a literacy work has more of an impact. I believe this because it can convey more details than a movie based on the literacy work. Both I believe are good ways to portray the sense of time but in different ways. In a movie you see more of how the directors see things instead of being able to imagine it
Thank you for your helping with my case. I am so glad that I don’t need to add another reading and writing class in this semester.
“Hey you want to drive”, my step-dad yelled over the loud engine of blue grizzly 4x4 quad I yelled “yes!!”, so as I got one the quad I put on my helmet and fased the strap on the same color helmet.
StoryCorps.org is an organization whose mission is “to provide people of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives.” StoryCorps furnishes a lesson that introduces students to their mission and helps students learn basic skills in interviewing and storytelling. During this students explore the meaning of story, watch and listen to video clips from StoryCorps, collaborate with classmates on interviewing techniques, and share strategies for improving an interview. StoryCorps also supplies a list of selected questions which is divided into specific categories like: “Questions for parents,” “Questions about growing up,” “Questions about serious illness,” or “Questions about military service.”
In March, I found out the one of the worst things a teenager could hear; my parents were getting a divorce. How was I supposed to handle that information. The two people who came second in my life next to God, the two people that promised they would always be together, were now ripping our family into two broken halves; instead of one solid whole. Most people might pray to God, and ask him for healing but how could I; God was supposed to protect our family, and he let us fall apart.
I do not remember him ever living in the same house as me. I do not remember him leaving, either. All I recall are the countless flights and short visits. He left the day after my 4th birthday, which is the only detail I know of the event. I was never told how, why or where to. I think that was for the best. My parents divorced when I was little, it wasn’t difficult at first since we lived close. But soon after this, my mom found someone else and me, my sister, and my mom moved to GA. This is how I learned to be strong. This transition was difficult for everyone so I decided to be the one everyone else can lean on. I was everyone’s rock.
There is more to the Union than just the significant health, dental, and other benefits it provides. I have family members who have been greatly affected by the Union. My grandma has been a part of the Union for over 15 years and my mother is currently in her fourth year of being a part of it. Even after my grandma suffered a stroke, 32BJ was there to guide her. My mother is absolutely content with the benefits she gets for herself and her family. However, the Union has not just affected my mother or my grandma, but me as well. While it does affect me in terms of benefits, it most definitely affects me in a way of allowing me to acknowledge what being a part of a community is.
What stood out for me most in this text was the way that Phil included all of Valeries thoughts and emotions while a part of the story was being explained. What astounded me even more was the writers ability to write the story in Valeries point of view.
This Christmas, when I first walked into my grandparent’s house, I noticed something I hadn’t before: the house’s familiar smell. Describing it is difficult, but it smelt like comfort and childhood and all the wonderful things I love to reminisce about on cross-country car rides. Realizing I have smelt, heard, or experienced something before is undoubtedly one of my favorite sensations.
My reading is a different type of reading, with that said I am a different type of reader. As a junior in highschool I started the Rot & Ruin series by Jonathan Maberry. That is a series that sparked the inner reader inside me. I moved my reading level up all through the year and finally finished the year with a 11.8 reading level, as a junior I was pleased with that reading score. I came into senior year working on the third book in the Rot & Ruin series, Flesh & Bone. After that book we started book clubs; I read Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay. I didn’t enjoy that book, although it challenged my reading skills. In the book Tatiana De Rosnay had the book bounce around between two different characters. That made the book hard to follow, although I feel the book helped me open up and focus more on the reading. After book clubs came to a conclusion we started in on the adventurous love mess, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. This challenging read provoked me to read harder; I took my resources and studied, I tried to get better. Mary Shelley had themes throughout this book, the themes had me really thinking about the text. Pressing forward to the end of first semester and the middle of my Senior year, I now can say I read at a 12.9 level. I am beyond
The researchers used open-ended questions to allow the participants to tell their stories appropriately. The researchers were able to guide the survivors through the interviews without introducing bias in their presentation. The researchers used a recording device to listen to the interviews multiple times, which is very appropriate for qualitative studies (Zamanzadeh et al., 2015).
Time budgeting is an important life skill that I see many adults using all the time. When I think about planning and scheduling, I can't help but think of Mr. Hale. He has his whole Google Calendar full and I'm stuck standing their thinking, "How did he do all this stuff?" Besides Mr. Hale, I see my parents managing their time and sticking to a schedule. This allows them to work more productively. So, I hope in the future I will be prepared and planning at that level.
According to Dr. S. M. Amunuzzaman, “Interview is a very systematic method by which a person enters deeply into the life of even a stranger and can bring out needed information and data for the research purpose.”
Interview playing a vital role in organisation Why do we meet? In the regular course of research occasions, we typically begin by asking "What would I like to know?" and the meeting is a possible response to the following inquiry: "How might I know?" We meet when we need to know something about what someone else needs to say in regards to her or his experience of a characterizing occasion, individual, thought, or thing. We pick the meeting since we know that an ideal approach to get into the lived understanding of a man who has encountered a critical wellbeing related issue is to empower the individual to portray that experience. We are occupied with the individual 's discernment, feeling, and conduct as a binding together entirety as opposed to as free parts to be examined independently. Interviews manage thinking and talk that are later changed into writings. The meet requires semantic exchanges and connections between
