What have I enjoyed about the interview process of the Oral History Project

I enjoyed the interview process of our Oral History Project more than I thought I would have. At no time during the interview was I bored. Dr. Neealapu's story was very fascinating and inspiring. During the interview I was in charge of my groups audio and video, so I was able to give my full attention to Dr. Neelapu when I wasn't checking to make sure it was still recording. Dr. Neelapu's answers to the questions we wrote were very professional, I thought it was very cool that a medical professional was giving us his time and answering our questions honestly.

The interview portion of the process was definitely my favorite part, but I also really enjoyed working on transcripting the interview onto a doc. Hearing the interview over again helped me notice things that I didn't during the interview. It wasn't extremely difficult and I found myself pretty good at sitting down and focusing on making sure my part got done. I also really appreciated that for the most part my group did a great job at getting done all the work we needed to get done. Overall, I really enjoyed the interview process, especially the actual interview.

Why did Marjane's grandmother yell at her?

The reason behind Marjane's grandmother yelling at her is very simple and justified. On pages 285-286 Marjane sees guardians of the revolution coming for a raid and realizes she is breaking their rules by wearing makeup. She doesn't want to get in trouble so she finds an innocent man on the street and tells the guardians of the revolution that he was being indecent to her. They take that man away and probably hurt him badly, but Marjane is safe and goes along with her life. She tells her grandmother about this thinking what she did was hilarious and her grandmother becomes furious because Marjane's uncle and grandfather fought to defend innocent people and gave their lives for it. It is obvious that it is certainly justified for anyone, especially her grandmother to be upset with her because what she did was cowardly and horrible. Luckily she realizes that what she did was bad and she promised herself she would never do anything to make her grandmother yell at her again.
