Interview

In the interview of the Hanover Bowladrome by Nicole Williams, she made it more than just an interview on a piece of paper, she created a story using the form of interviewing. She provided much useful information about her site but also incorporated other background information about her topic that may be interesting for the readers to begin her paper. She also found a way of balancing out the different people she chose to talk to. She separated it by groups almost, for example she talked to someone in the woman's league, a person from the men's league, the owner of the bowling alley, and a visitor just simply bowling for fun. This gave different views and perspectives of the bowling alley and added contrast to her paper. She applied much detail in her descriptions of the people she observed and talked to and she used direct quotes from her interview in her paper. She talked about the different leagues within the alley, how some play for fun and others for competition, how long they have been interested in the aspect of bowling, and how for some,it is a fun tradition that runs in the family. This paper portrayed a perfect example of how to create a good paper based on interviewing and will be very helpful in the writing of my future interview ethnography.
