It's all coming together
Even though I haven't started my paper yet, I have been rehearsing in my mind how I'm going to put it together. I have interviewed every one but one lady. This lady is about eighty years old and is the one who has worked on the geneology of this particular Nuernberger family. Julie (Nuernberger) Main, Vic's oldest sister, and her husband, John, gave me a lot of interesting stories, too. When I interviewed Vic's brother, Dan, his wife kept interrupting him telling him he was wrong (this was Dan's own memories here!!!) and I found out that when I interview I should do this one on one. It was really hard to decipher my recording with Ms. Mouth contradicting Dan all the time. But I did get some good stories from Dan, too. This story has become very important to me. I was asked by Julie and John last night if they could have a copy of my paper to hand down to their grandchildren. What an honor! And to you, Kira, I have some more ghost stories coming!!!!! To the rest of you, I was worried at first that I wouldn't be able to get your interest writing about a farm, but I have discovered that with this particular farm and family, I can assure you this will be one good paper! Good luck to the rest of you! Can't wait to read your papers!

I am extremely excited about the ghost stories, I'm not really into ghosts, but I think it will be fun. I also liked your nickname for Dan's wife. Very clever. It agree that it is important for interviews to be conducted one on one. I will not be able to do this because I am interviewing a family band. I am not concerned about being unable to sort through the information though. The family is very organized and I am certain that the information be of great help to me.
ReplyDeleteI am sincerely looking forward to your latest section of your essay as well as the final draft.
I'm getting excited to read your paper, and just like Kira, I am also ready to hear some more ghost stories! All your posts have interested me a ton. So to be able to read it all at once is going to be extremely exciting to me. I'm just ready to be finished with this project. It's been taking up a lot of my time, I still have a few more things I want to do before this paper is due. Good work though! It's definitely going to pay off in the end.
