mike interview chris

I interviewed Chris, and before interviewing Chris I figured he wouldn’t be very familiar with the things going on in the book. Chris wasn’t familiar with the Ida B. Wells housing projects, but he did feel as if they were taking a risk interviewing people in that environment. He stated that the children were already in a bad neighborhood and that was a big risk taken to interview those types of people. I asked the question what did he think it was like for them growing up in the ghetto, and he said he thought it was tough because of their situation and they don’t have as many privileges as the outside world. He also added that had to be a dangerous environment. He’s never witnessed or experienced the death of a friend or a close associate. He grew up in a well off area with the main crimes being drug abuse and vandalism. He had never heard of the Eric Morse story.
