Writing 2 has allowed me the opportunity improve my writing technique as well as given me a means to showcase my work to a public audience. Revising my essays allowed me the oportunity to fine toon my paper gramatically, changing scentence structure and rearanging fragments so they made more sense ans flowed smoother. This class has helped me build on the skills I developed last semseter in Writing 1 to improve my overall writing technique and focus, and I believe it shows in my work. As a writer I am constantly editing and revising my writing so I value the opportunity to improve my writing skills and class grade.

Interviews

This weeks section of reading was on good strategies and techniques on how to properly conduct an interview. I learned how to ask open questions that allow the interviewee to elaborate on certain topics. Not all your questions can be pre-determined, and sometimes you have to improvise. In order to ask more indepth questions its important to first be a good listener. This allows you to develope the conversation, gather more information, and formulate new questions. Much of these readings helped me during my ethnography study in the field gathering and analying the data that helped me write an informed essay.

This paper displays good research methods, opening up with descriptive backgriound information on the origins of bowling and how it has proigressed throughout the years. It gives an indeopth procedure on how to play the game, various rules, and the different cultures who made it famous. The paper then smoothly transitions to a single bowling alley observation in Hanover. The area is described in detail from the outside view, to the lanes, snack counter and decoprations inside. The papwer goes on to talk about the various people who visit the site, from the young children running about, to an interesting old lady observed and described in detail. The paper goes on to explain the great times the author remember sharing at this loacation with her friends and family.
