essay 4 blog

My final essay will consist of putting all my observatory work, description of police officers and interviews throughout the course of the semester at the police station into my final portfolio. However, my most important piece of information that will be included in this summary of the time spent at the station will include a more in depth look at the emotional being of the men and women in uniform. How much they truly care for the safety of the public will be on full display. Their hard work training for various kinds of emergencies and the reason why they work so hard (because they are passionate about caring for people) was seen by  myself first hand.

Reading for 4/13

The author does a great job putting all the essays of observation at the bowling alley together. There is smooth transition between the essays as there are strong intros and conclusions giving away information about what Hanover Bowladrome is all about. Family fun is the best way to describe this awsome atmosphere. It is where the author was able to relieve stress with her family after her grandma died and it is where she observed another family (a mother and her two boys) bonding.

Interviewing

   When it comes to interviewing someone it is important to remember to find a good location. It is key to ask somebody relevant questions in a familiar and comfortable place because they are more open when answering. For example, it would not make much sense to conduct a teacher's job interview at a  Macdonalds in Boston if the person promoting their resume is a recent Bridgewater State University graduate. Instead, it would be more appropriate to conduct the interview at either the high school where that person might want to teach or at Bridgewater State. Also, being well prepared with questions and a set of goals will help the process run smoothly with great tempo and progress. I know that I have more confidence doing anything when I am well prepared. When I failed to study for my math test I recieved a D, but when I read my flashcards countless amounts of time for my History speech I got an A. The atmosphere is arguably the most vital part of an interview. The person being asked all the questions must be in a sense spoiled. Where, when and how the interview is conducted is necessary to gain the most knowledgeable answers from the person.

Hanover Gems

Hanover Gems is a showcase of bowling history and the way the sport has evolved over the past hundreds of years. I had no idea of the balls and pins being put to good use in historical locations such as Ancient Egypt and Rome. Interestingly, the game was moved from an outdoor game to an indoor game in 1455 England. Also, the game was brought to America by the Dutch a little while after, resulting in the creation of the automatic pinsetter of the 1940's. The Author goes onto talk about her modern day bowling alley in full description. The "crazy"parking lot as well as the change in atmosphere that particular night (since it was time for the women's leauge) made for a really good time. Her friends Laura and Patty tell her that Thursday nights are the worst nights to go to the energetic alley because the men's competetive leauge is overly serious. "They'll kill you if you don't do well", says Laura. The location attracts various personalitites and makes for an interesting outlook on society.
