In class Dr. Chandler used me as an example to explain exactly what the research project was and what she expected. In this example she used me saying that since I want to write urban books and for example for the book if I wanted to use a specific setting like Newark or Jersey City. I'd have to investigate and do my research on the area and the people that live there to get a better understanding to make the book seem as realistic as possible. When she gave this example she hit it right on the nose because I am in the process of writing a book and I will need to know a lot more about urban cities.
Some questions that I would ask would be, "How was it growing up there?" , "What types of crime go in?" , "What type of people occupy the city?" and things of that nature. I would most likely use interviewing and ethnography because those two methods would help me out the most.
