Analysis of 9/11 Interview

I chose to analyze Rachel and Valerie's interview.
They chose a paragraph format and the focus was 9/11. The beginning of the
paragraph was about what was stated in class about oral history.

The interview was conversational: both students asked and answered questions.
A narrative frame was used as a guide for reporting data.

Hypothesis: If the interview includes both the interviewer and subject answering/asking
questions, the subject will feel more comfortable and only have to state personal
answers and not facts.

Valerie said "She was very sympathetic and never interrupted me...". Here she was
making an observation. The after thought was "After the interview we were just
talking off the record about 9/11 and how sad we feel for the people who lost their
lives and the families who have to deal with their loss...".

The hypothesis was tested by these two students and it's proven true. The interview
was short and simple.

*Update*

Hypothesis: The evaluative afterthoughts were most useful.

Tested Hypothesis: Proven to be true because the afterthoughts expressed concern
for others and they show the reader(s) more background information as to how the
interview went.
