You are to interview a woman 50 and older and write up the interview.docxshericehewat
You are to interview a woman 50 and older and write up the interview

and how it relates to the history of women in the late 20th century. Your paper
should be normal margins, 10-12 pt. font, typed and double-spaced. It should
include the approximate age of your interviewee—it does not have to include her
name.
EXAMPLE QUESTIONS ..........
What’s your first, most vivid memory? Going to my grandma and grandpa’s farm and making grandma walk me out to the outhouse for fear of a mean bannie rooster would peck me to death. He was afraid of grandma.
What was the apartment or house like that you grew up in? How many bedrooms did it have? Bathrooms? I lived with my mother and father mostly in a house in the city that had 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. I had to share a room with my older brother that was upstairs.
What was your bedroom like? Very simple. It had 2 beds made of feathers, a desk with a lamp and one dresser for our clothes. Dallas (my brother got the bottom 2 and I got the top 2)
Can you describe the neighborhood you grew up in? Not really. Every chance I got I went to grandma and grandpas and spent time with them. They lived deep in the country. I had one friend out there that lived about 3 miles away on the next farm. His name was Carl.
Tell me about your parents. Where were they born? When were they born? What memories do you have of them? Both parents were born in Richmond, IN. Memories include more of my mother than my father. He was a drunk that stayed out all the time. He only came home when he was ready to pass out or to beat us.
Who was more strict: your mother or your father? Do you have a vivid memory of something you did that you were disciplined for? Since mom was the main one around I would say that she was more strict. I remember one instance when I was about 16 and mom had kicked me out of the house because she was forced to work with dad being gone all the time and I was telling her that I no longer wanted to take care of my little brother because I felt like I was his mother rather than her and that I didn’t want to do anymore of the house work. It was her house she should have to clean it. She kicked me out. I was sitting on the porch crying and dad came home (sober for once) and sat on the porch with me, got me calmed down and offered to give me a ride to grandma and grandpa’s.
Did your parents have a good marriage? No they had a horrible marriage.
How did your family earn money? How did your family compare to others in the neighborhood – richer,
poorer, the same? My family earned money from my mother working in a diner. Dad worked in a mill but we rarely saw his money. We did alright but I would say that we were on the poorer end of society.
What kinds of things did your family spend money on? The necessities and that was it.
How many brothers and sisters do you have? When were they born? What memories do yo.

8. Detailed-summary
This story about a little girl, Kesiya whose feelings
for her father change from fear to understanding
will probably find an echo in every home.
To the little girl he was a figure to fear and avoided
9. Kesiya is fearful of her father, she tries to avoid
him and she tries to remain away from him.
Every morning before going to work he came
into her room and gave her a casual kiss, to
which she responded with “Goodbye, Father”.
10. And oh, there was a glad sense of relief when she
heard the noise of the carriage growing fainter
and fainter down the long road!
In the evenings, when Kezia’s father would
return home she would hear his loud voice. And
this loud voice against made her afraid of him.
11. “Bring my tea into the drawing-room... Hasn’t
the paper come yet? Mother, go and see if my
paper’s out there — and bring me my slippers.”
Kezia,” Mother would call to her, “if you’re a
good girl you can come down and take off
father’s boots.
12.
13. By that time he had his spectacles on and looked
at her over them in a way that was terrifying to
the little girl..
She never stuttered with other people — had
quite given it up — but only with Father, because
then she was trying so hard to say the words
properly.
14. On Sunday afternoons Grandmother sent her down
to the drawing-room to have a “nice talk with
Father and Mother”.
So all the while Kezia’s father was asleep, she would
just sit on a stool and watch him carefully till the
time he would wake up and stretch his body and
then would ask the time and look at her.
“Don’t stare so, Kezia. You look like a little brown
owl.”
15. One day, when she was kept indoors with a cold,
her grandmother told her that father’s birthday
was next week and suggested she should make
him a pin-cushion for a gift out of a beautiful
piece of yellow silk.
16. Kezia put in lot of effort to make the birthday
gift. She used double cotton (refers to a thread)
and she stitched three sides of the cushion.
But what to fill it with? That was the question.
On the bed-table she discovered a great many
sheets of fine paper, gathered them up, tore
them into tiny pieces, and stuffed her case, then
sewed up the fourth side.
17. Now there was lot of shouting in the house
because Kezia’s father had prepared a speech for
the Port Authority (for a particular meeting) and
he was unable to find it.
18. Now the family searched everywhere. They
asked the servants, but no one knew where the
sheets of paper had gone. And finally, the
mother reached the Kezia’s room.
19. Now Kezia’s mother is so furious when she
comes to know that Kezia has torn the speech
that her father is looking for. And so, she orders
Kezia to come down into the dining room at that
very moment.
20. She was trying to explain to him that she was
just preparing a birthday gift for him. She
wanted to give him a surprise. She did not want
to tear his important documents. But Kezia’s
father did not listen to her excuses.
22. • “What did God make fathers for?” she sobbed.
So Kezia was still not comfortable. She was
crying and she said that god should not have
made fathers. She hated her father.She was so
innocent. she did not know what wrong she had
done. She was just preparing a gift for him
23.
24. Now Kezia’s Grandmother was trying to pacify
her. She gave her a handkerchief, to blow her
nose in it and go to sleep.
25. • Whenever she saw her father, she got scared and
her cheeks got full of red colour.
26. • The Macdonalds lived next door. They had five
children. Looking through a gap in the fence the
little girl saw them playing ‘tag’ in the evening.
• Now when Kezia saw Mr. Macdonald, she
realized that he was quiet opposite to her father.
She felt that God had made various kinds of
fathers.
27. Suddenly, one day, Mother became ill, and she
and Grandmother went to hospital.
Grandmother also went along with her.
28. Now Kezia was all alone at home with the
cook. The name of the cook is Alice. Now Kezia
was fine during the day but at night when the
cook put Kezia to bed all alone Kezia started
feeling scared.
29.
30. So,Kezia’s father was sleeping in the next room
and Alice told Kezia to sleep quietly.She
removed Kezia’s socks and asked her not to
scream. She warned her not to scream and wake
her father. But Kezia was helpless.
31.
32. But the same old nightmare came — the butcher
with a knife and a rope, who came nearer and
nearer, smiling that dreadful smile, while she
could not move, could only stand still, crying
out, “Grandma! Grandma!” She woke shivering
to see Father beside her bed, a candle in his
hand.
33. So Kezia’s father heard her screams and calling
for her grandmother.
He came to help her.
He blew out the candle, bent down and caught
up the child in his arms, carrying her along the
passage to the big bedroom.
34. He lay down beside her. Half asleep still, still
with the butcher’s smile all about her it seemed,
she crept close to him, snuggled her head under
his arm, held tightly to his shirt.
35. Tired out, he slept before the little girl. A funny
feeling came over her.
Now here Kezia realizes her mistake and she had
affection towards her father. She felt that her
father was a poor man. He worked so hard. He
was not so big as she found him to be earlier.
