The questions all seemed to be very helpful with moving the story. Even though this was an hour long series of interviews that I watched I felt like it was only mabye twenty minutes. This is because the interviewer kept the questions interesting and the questions did not just have a one word answer. One question thati found good was when Father Thomas Santos was asked what the hardest part of listening to a scrupulous persons confessions was. He responded by saying that it was hard to be patient with such trivial questions and that it was also hard for him to be loving because he was bored. It was interesting because the questions all fit together well but it would have been impossible to know what someone's answers would be. These answers were needed to make some of he questions. I think that next week my group should write all the questions we are planning on asking but also being prepared to make up questions on the spot if he says something interesting that we don't have any questions about. Another question that I found interesting was when Jeffery was asked if he felt like a victim. Jeffery said no which surmised me because he had been discriminated against ever since ths case. I certainly would have felt like a victim. I think that itis very important to research the subject before hand so that we are not caught off guard by so ething they said. This will help us be able to make up questionse more easily.
