Family of Survivors
The Family of Survivors interview narrative was our first writing assignment in humanities, consisting of five total drafts and four peer critiques. The point was to interview one member of your family that you believe is a survivor of anything. I interviewed my sister, Denisse. I had interviewed people before but for different reasons and what I wanted to speak about wasn't spoken of very often in our home. Luckily she was very cooperative and answered everything I asked her, most of the questions I already knew the answer to, but in interviews you always learn one new thing about someone no matter how small or big.
This assignment taught me one important thing, when you write about the life of someone else write descriptively but true. Never alter their words cause if you do then what you write is not the truth.
