Notes and Analysis on the Sample Transcript

In this transcript the tone and mood changes a lot during this interview. When "L" was being asked about her school and neighborhood when she was little I feel like she wished she could have lived in a different setting. When she was saying how her neighborhood was filled with kids in gangs and how you really needed to know who your friends were it was almost as if she felt resentment that she has to be in the neighborhood that she lived in. When L spoke about school when she was younger it was though she wasn't being completely honest because she was talking to a teacher. She speaks about a test that she had to take. She was so excited that she finally passed the test because she was so nervous to take it but it came back to bite her because she had to leave all her friends behind because they did not pass the test. She felt as though her friends were resentful towards her for  moving on because they could not pass. In the end L ended up with no friends for a long time. When saying this I feel like again she wasn't being completely honest because she was talking to an English teacher and she did not what to say her true feelings.
