Interesting but not particularly emotional
subtle way of getting all of the info in
no real emotional connection made to any one specific.
more like a casual movie than a documentary

Interview 2- Jill Smith
Q - So challenge day is next week, did you go last year?
A - I did
Q-Mainly with all of your friends, right ?
A- Yes
Q- What kind of things happened that day?
A- Uhm, it was weird. When we first walked in there was a tunnel of teachers and they were highfiving and cheering, it wasn't intimidating, just awkward to go through. You don't really do that everyday.
Q- What kind of activities and events did you participate in?
A- There was a bunch of games at the beginning of the day; crossing the room and stuff and they made you sit with people that you dont usually talk to, so I sat with Sam Faegan and some other girl I don't know.
Q- How awkward was that for you?
A- Not too awkward, I'm pretty social. Bugged Sam for a bit, the usual.
Q- I hear you have to do something called "If you really knew me" to your groups. Tell me about that, what is it?
A- Uhm, they put you in groups with people you don't talk to and one teacher, and you say something like "If you really knew me, you'd know..." and then you'd tell something personal about yourself and your group would touch you and comfort you and stuff.
Q- I bet that dug up some tear-jerking memories?
A- Yeah, I talked about my Granny. The teacher in our group talked about his divorce, another teacher talked about how they had cancer.
Q- Wow, that's really intense. How did you take it? Was it hard for you?
A- Yeah, because you really just think your teacher is a dick until you find out that he's divorced, his kids hate him and he thinks its all his fault. It makes you want to respect him more.
Q- You gained a new level of respect from this?
A- Yeah, because you dont know but then you're like "oh, they have a hard life. I shouldnt harrass them anymore".
Q- You'd say it was a worth while experience?
A- Yep definitely and you get a free lunch and timbits so it was definitely worth while. You also patch up things with new and old friends.
A - I did

Beauty in a Breakdown by The Scene Aesthetic.
I get alot of different feelings while listening to this song, things like; soothed, uneasy, emotional, comfortable, understanding connection, melodic. It's an instant jump into my head with its acoustic melody is so soft and humble that it's inviting to listen to, and connect to. The Scene Aesthetic is an American two-piece acoustic/indie pop band from Seattle. This song was written in January of 2005. Andrew de Torres of Danger Radio and Eric Bowley make the band. They were originally recognized through myspace and this song was there first single which had them featured in "wall Street Journal" and "Rolling Stone Magazine". There first debut album was set out in 2006 and was called "Building Homes from what we've known". This song sets a tone that reaches souly into your heart and brings out the best and worst parts of growing up and falling in love. If you've ever been in love, this brings out the heartache of seperation from someone you care deeply about and the realization that we will only be young for so long, so we have to do what will make us happy before the chance is completely gone. at least that's what I get from this song reaching inside of my head and the soft spots inside of my heart. It could be classified as a little corny, I believe the lyrics and inspiring and motivating, they tell the story that needs to be told. Loud and clear. From one musicians heart to every other person in the world. The two voices put together with there different tones is very soothing and has a certain calming feel to it, it shares a melody that makes the listener feel easy at heart but be able to make an emotional connection to the song.
