Studs Terkel

The interview is between a grave digger, Homer Martinez, and Studs Terkel. Terkel is very to the point in this interview. He wants to know the information that he has set out to gain.

Stud Terkel’s “The Good War” is a book of oral histories from World War Two that shows many different accounts and aspects of living life in World War Two or actually being on the battlefield. The interviews range from soldiers, admirals, house wives, kids, nurses and many other people in the world experiencing World War Two.

tenants looked down on me... you only spoke when they spoke to you, otherwise you didn't say nothin'." It would be a rarity in present- day society to see a Doorman, more so picturing someone of his class engaging in conversation with a guest, like Studs Terkel. As he thinks of this, it cheers him up.
