Polling
I selected a young woman and a older man for my interviews.
Curtis Lincoln (Older Man) decided to talk as I wrote down everything.
Gabby Stevenson (Young Woman) was friendly enough to let me record her.Declined by one older woman, but she left me with a joke:
Lady: Wanna' know know a joke?
Alisha (Me): Sure
Lady: Mitt Romney
Interview with Mr. Lincoln
Alisha (Me): What motivated you to come out and vote?
Mr. Lincoln: Because I want to see change done. I'm gonna' feel guilty if I wake up and Mitt is President. I ain't letting that happen. *chuckles*
Alisha (Me): What would you like to see changed in our political system?
Mr. Lincoln: Equality. Period.
Alisha (Me): Do you vote in every election? (How regularly do you vote?)
Mr. Lincoln: Yes, every year, since the age of 21 years old. I'm well over 40 years old now. The exact number is a secret!
Alisha (Me): Do you know why we vote on Tuesday?
Mr. Lincoln: No.
Alisha (Me): It has a lot to do about Horses, farming and God. It was all established in the 1800's. But, let's hurry and move on. It's cold.
Mr. Lincoln: Yes, thank you.
Alisha (Me): Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning? Radio, TV, Print, internet, other.
Mr. Lincoln: TV and the radio. To work is the radio, from work is the radio and then when I get home, there is the TV. OBAMA, ROMNEY, & OBAMA. *chuckles*
Alisha (Me): Are you always sure of who you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth, or are you still deliberating?
Mr. Lincoln: I always know who I'm voting for. I took the time out already to do all of my hard thinking. But, this election, I think it was a very clear choice.
Alisha (Me): What changes do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election?
Mr. Lincoln: I don't want to see any more violence. At least a decrease. I'm scared for my son, 14, to even go to school in the morning. Septa is crazy. So, I try to drive him when ever I can. But, gas prices...
Alisha (Me): What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election?
Mr. Lincoln: Well how the government is today, probably none. But, I go out to vote and just pretend that my vote means the world.

My Interview
What motivated you to come out and vote?
I came out today and voted because I feel as though Obama has done a very good job of starting to change the US. Bush messed us up big time and Obama has done a swell job of putting it back together. We are getting back on our feet and who else to thank but Obama.
Do you vote every election?
Well this is my first year being able to vote but for the future I will be voting in every election.
Do you know why election day is always on Tuesday?
We vote on Tuesday because Congress set that day.
What is one thing that attracts you to Obama? The one thing that makes him a better candidate?
His attitude is what I think makes him a better candidate. He always has the keep it going, never give up type of attitude and thats just what we need.
If Romney wins do you think we will go back into the same problems we faced before?
Yes, because he reminds me of Bush. The smile can tell a million and a half lies. Also for the fact that he switched his story time after time. He seems like the type to be all talk and no action.
Did you learn about voting in school? If yes did that impact your willingness to vote today?
Yes I learned about voting since I was in grade school. I learned that every counts and I feel as though my vote will make a difference.

American History Interviews
There are two interviews. I recorded two because:
The first guy mumbled a lot, so I wanted to do someone else that was clearer
The first guy was for Mitt Romney, I wanted to see if I could find someone else that was for Obama.
Unfortunately, they were both for Mitt Romney...

Q1 Reflection
I wanted to get into the book and allow myself to know how Precious felt. What the thought that were going in her head. To know why each tear was being shed. I wanted to bring each sentence alive, and have her story told in many more ways than it already has been.
I made a quick movie that shows, significant part of Precious life. I chose certain clips in the movie, because I thought the clips best describe what Precious went through and, also to let other victims know they are not alone. I created the movie, so people can be aware that there victims out here that need help and guidance.
I never intended the video to be so powerful, I wanted it to be like a therapy session. I used commonly ask question that people had about the book, which the therapist asked. Following that I had actors play the different role, in Precious life. Each actor playing and saying the role, as it is played in Precious’ own thoughts.
The mind set I want my viewers to walk away with is that, they’re people out here that have gone through the same thing as Precious. People who have done them wrong, causing them to be victims. Not only has Precious Jones been a victim of Abuse. But maybe someone else has been.
