Research Question/Roadmap
1. Does it pose a question? Does the paper identify tensions? Does it say what it’s going to do and what its point is?
• I don’t think it really poses a question but it does show her intention by saying that she wants to know why college students sign up for facebook. Again, she says that she plans to figure out why people sign up for facebook.
Theme
2. What is the quality of the content of the writing: the ideas, perceptions, and point of view? In your words, what is being said? Is it more than a collection of thoughts and observations? According to the author, why does this whole thing matter?
• I think that she is trying to say that she thinks there are many different reasons why a person would have a facebook. I do not see many of your own thoughts until the end of the paper. Consider putting your thoughts throughout your interviews.
3. Is there too much abstraction or generalization? Underline or circle this language in the paper. In other words, are there so few details, examples and explanations that it ends up dull, empty, impossible to experience? Or, perhaps even impossible to understand? Explain.
• I think that you did a good job with your examples, but maybe you could try to go more into depth about some things (what are some of the games, what is a wall, things like that).
4. Is there too little abstraction or generalization and too much clutter of details, examples, and explanations? Too little standing back for perspective? Too little forest per tree?
• I’m not really sure if this is what this question is talking about, but you do not give much of your own thought until the end. During your interviews, maybe you could put some more controversial thoughts and your own reactions.
5. What is the practical significance of the artifact? What idea does it represent?
• The practical significance of the artifact is that it shows who the person is. It shows the identity of who that person really is (or who they are claiming to be). You can also stereotype the kind of person they are just by looking at there profile picture.
6. What is the significance of Interview 1?
• I think that the significance behind the first interview was that facebook is something that can be very time consuming, but sometimes, that is not always a bad thing. He is using it to keep in close contact with people who are very close to him such as his girlfriend and other friends. Also, I think he is showing that facebook can be something that is very bad when it comes to school work. He openly admits, like most people would, he uses it to procrastinate
7. What is the significance of Interview 2?
• I think that the significance of the next interview is that facebook does not have to be something that people are addicted to. Contrary to popular belief, people can survive without facebook.
8. Are all 3 required scholarly sources developed in the conclusions?
• I do not see any of your scholarly sources in your conclusion.
9. Is all source material cited according to MLA, both parenthetically and in a Works Cited?
• There are no sources cited in the paper or the works cited page.
10. Do the conclusions satisfy the issues the study raises with complexity? How so?
• I think that the conclusion does satisfy the question that was raised. You wanted to know why people got a facebook and you found out that they wanted to keep in touch with people.
Structure
11. Is the whole thing unified? Is there a central idea to which everything pertains? What? Are there loose ends that don’t seem purposefully so, but accidently overlooked?
• I think that there is a central idea of wanting to know why people originally got on the facebook network. You do a good job describing your findings. However, in your interview with Scott, you talk about wanting to compare facebook usage to time, but you never really go into detail about it. Maybe consider doing that.
12. Are the parts arranged in a coherent, logical narrative sequence?
• I think that it is arranged in a logical order, but I think you should try to do a better job of making it flow nicely. Right now, it is question…answer…question…answer. Expand on your thoughts about the interview a little more
13. Were the paragraphs really paragraphs? Could you tell what each one was saying? Did they function as helpful and comfortable units of thought, not too much, not too little? Mark any that seem too short or too long.
• I think there are times when the paragraphs were not complete paragraphs. There were times when your question for the informant or answer from them was your entire paragraph, which was maybe only one sentence, try finding a better transition so that you can combine the two together, and again, put your thoughts in it
Language
14. Are the sentences clear and readable? Underline with a wavy line any that you find incorrect or confusing.
• I think that your sentences are good and readable. However, see paper for more
15. Are the words used correctly? List any misused words.
• I did not notice any misused words
16. Is it succinct enough? Not too long, repetitious or dull? Mark any areas for deletion.
•
17. Is it full enough? Or does the writer squeeze out the juice of human communication and spoken discourse? Is the language, even if correct, dull and indigestible? Does the writer sufficiently use the language of the subculture?
• The paper is full length but I think that most of it is just regurgitating what the informant said, you didn’t really put your own thoughts into the ethnography and that made it a little boring to read.
18. Does the diction, mood and level of formality fit with ethnography?
•
Readerly Response
Describe what was happening to you as you read. Tell which words or phrases stuck out or resonated.
• I didn’t feel anything really until the end when you started talking about people being who they really say they are. I never really thought about that so that was interesting
What happened and what are the implications?
• I don’t think that anything really happened in this paper, it was just he said, she said, I said paper.
What ideas or beliefs or feelings were brought into this piece? How do multiple points of view contribute to your understanding?
• The ideas that were brought up in this paper is that people have different reason for getting a facebook and different reasons why they get on it each day. This tells me that every person who is a part of this subculture, has a different motives.
What understanding of the culture do you have from reading this piece? What gave you this understanding?
• Again, I know that everyone has a different reason for having a facebook. Whether that reason may be talking to old friends, staying in touch with a friends who moved away, staying in touch with a significant other, etc.
The writer has introduced him/herself to you. Describe that meeting. What’s your impression? Did he thrust out his hand for you to shake? Did she sidle up next to you, but fail to look you in the eye? Did he send you a letter bomb or put his arm around your shoulder? Does it seem like the writer is standing on a cliff talking down to an audience below? What sense of the writer do you have? Formal? Casual? Intimate? Jocular? Arrogant? Are you with the writer, against her, or unsure since you don’t really know him?
• I think she is hesitant because she has never written an ethnography before. I think she would shake my hand but be a little shy at first..
Is the writer giving in?
• I think the writer is beginning to give in, but at the same time, not. She states that she is now a little more hesitant than she was before, but she is not going to delete her facebook account anytime soon
What do you want, need, or wish for
• I want to know the time differentiation. You said you wanted to know more about it but then never went into that topic!

Questions
What do you make of your experience?
I think that my experience with this sub-culture has been an eye opening experience. I went in it with a stereotype and assumptions about the people that I was going to be working with, but after getting to know some of the people, they were completely changed. They are just people like me and you that have different hobbies.
What is it like to be a part of your sub-cultures community?
When I was around my sub-culture, I had a lot of fun. People actually treated you like a friend. I had never met a lot of these people before I started doing field work and they still treated me better than some of my other friends do. They do not hold it against you if you do not participate in the same activities as them
Describe the way that you have represented them?
I know that I did not represent this sub-culture the best because of my limited time and resources. However, I think that I did a good job of trying to break the regular stereotype of those who party. I tried to show that there are more reasons that people party other than just because they want to get trashed. Granted some people do that, not all of them are that way.
Do you have the authority? Why? Why not?
I do not think that I have the authority to speak for this group because my answers are based off of my interpretations. Since I am not an active member of this subculture, I do not know all the little details. However, I tried to get opinions from the people so that I could have the best opinion that I could.

Peer Review for Sena
Language Paper Peer Review
Your Name: Evan Beard
Writer’s Name: Sena Strong
1. How does the writer reflect on the interview process? Are the internal thoughts of the writer towards the informant expressed? Quote at least 3 examples.
• You did a good job of writing how you felt during the interviews. Things like “I hope this is not going to be awkward”, “I wonder if Morgan is as nervous as I am?” and “I thought to myself how was this interview going to go”
2. What differences in terms of race, class, gender, etc. are discussed regarding each informant? List examples from each interview segment.
• You did a very good job of describing what they were wearing and going into detail about their appearance (especially with Morgan).
3. How does the writer characterize his or her informant? Do you think there should be more physical description, material description, background, or nonverbal communication to better understand the person and interaction?
• I don’t think you characterized Morgan very well, other than her appearance which was very good. Maybe you could go into more detail about her family that she grew up in and how she came to her belief that winning is not everything.
4. Do the informants seem to be full characters you could describe with unique worldviews? Quote any examples that helped you know the informant’s worldview.
• I that you could get some of the informants beliefs out of this interview. Like you said, you can tell that Morgan is not all about winning and more about just being thankful for the abilities that she has, and Coach Gregory is all about the winning
5. Each interview should be distinct from the other and in narrative form. What is the story being told about each interview? Describe them separately here.
•
6. What is the thesis for interview 1? What is the thesis for interview 2? Are these theses truly theses—that is, do they make surprising and specific claims that need support to be accepted by an audience? If not, what’s the problem?
• I don’t know how to indentify a thesis in a paper like this MY BAD
7. Does there seem to be a balance of summary and quotation? Or does one mode seem overused or underused?
• I think there is a good balance of quotes and summaries. You introduce the quotes and then summarize them in your own words afterwards
8. For each interview, what do you think the writer most wanted to know?
• You really stressed the question of least and most proud moment in bowling. You did a good job of coming up with things that they may believe from this question
9. What is the verbal art discussed? Do you think it fits the criteria of verbal art? What’s the deeper level of meaning for the culture?
• You did a very good job of describing the setting in the beginning while you were waiting for Morgan. One thing that you may want to think about doing is describing the bowling alley where the interviews actually took place
10. What new knowledge do you have after reading these interviews? What would you still like to know about the culture?
• I don’t really have any new knowledge from these interviews. One thing you might be able to ask is how close are they outside the bowling alley? Do they hang out with each other, other than practice and matches?
11. On your copy cross out any portions of the paper you think are irrelevant to understanding the informant, the culture, or the writer’s perspective. Don’t be shy. The writer doesn’t have to take your advice.
• Alright
12. Comment on the organization. Does it seem to be working?
• Maybe you could find a better way to lead into your interview with the coach, but other than that it is good
13. Comment on the writing style. Is it gripping enough to hold an average reader’s attention?
• I think you did a good job, other than just a some grammatical errors…I think
14. What’s the single most important thing this writer could do to improve this paper before
it’s graded?
• Again, you could describe the place where you actually did the interview rather than just while you were waiting for her and then find a better lead into your second interview rather than just go straight into it.

Box 21
The main thing that i learned from this excercise was that the question that i think is the most imporant, may not be what everyone thinks is the most important.It showed me to consider more in depth about the question, "What kind of family were you raise in?" It also made me realize that i can branch off into more questions to more in depth.

Summaries
The name of this article is Intoxication, harm and pleasure: an analysis of the Australian National Alcohol Strategy written by Helen Keena. This article is looking at two different views on being intoxicated. The first view is the one that people take on the health side of the argument. They say that It is a harmful behavior that is a result of alcohol consumption in dangerous amounts.
The second view comes from the experiences of everyday drinkers. They see it as a hobby that helps them reach an enhanced state of mind or a form of bodily pleasure. They only think of the temporary pleasure of their behavior and do not consider the damages in the long run.
One of the main things that this article is arguing the gap between the knowledge of the health aspect and the thought of drinking for bodily pleasure, presents a huge gap to overcome for those campaigning to alter drinking habits of others.
I think that this article has great relevance to my project because people who drink on a regular basis, like those who go to parties, only think about the temporary satisfaction of their actions and not what it could do to them in the long run. I also think it is relevant because if you try and talk to them about this issue, they will not listen to you and think that whatever they do is right.
The name of this article is Relationships between parental alcohol abuse and social support, peer substance abuse risk and social support, and substance abuse risk among South Korean Adolescents by Sookyung Park, Haeryun Kim, and Haesung Kim. This article’s main study takes place in South Korea, but I feel that it pertains to people in the United States as well.
The main argument in this article is that adolescents (young adults) with parents who partake in things such as alcohol, are at a greater chance of also participating in a these things too. It never says a kid will be an alcoholic if his parents are alcoholics, but studies show that in families where parents use alcohol in great amounts, then there kids are at a greater risk of picking up their parents behavior.
I think that this article is very applicable to my subject because if people grew up around their parents drinking (like I did), I think they would be much more susceptible to picking up the behaviors of their parents. Parent’s are role models in a kids life and kids want to be like there parents, and sometimes they pick up the wrong traits
The name of this article is Alcohol Use and Antisocial Behavior in Late Adolescence Characteristics of a Sample Attending a GED Program by Andrea Bergman and Meredith Reesman Owens. It is talking mainly about symptoms that may lead to alcohol use and abuse. They surveyed 104 students between the ages of 16 to 21 and found that when under the influence of alcohol their behavior was altered in a negative way. They did these surveys by questionnaires and surveys and were than analyzed.
They were able to determine that peer deviance was a strong predictor of alcohol use, and ADHD was a very strong predictor of alcohol disorder symptoms and antisocial behavior. They also found that being associated with deviant peers increased these behaviors. There are also implications for treatments that may help.
The second view comes from the experiences of everyday drinkers. They see it as a hobby that helps them reach an enhanced state of mind or a form of bodily pleasure. They only think of the temporary pleasure of their behavior and do not consider the damages in the long run.
