My Analysis of the Sample DA Transcript reflected on how you need to use several methods in order to gain the full understanding of a literacy text. Several of the methods include: counting, identifying, and determining the hierarchy of power. It seems as if these methods can be used with any piece of writing, especially in story-telling.
For instance, when we looked at the sample DA transcript, we noticed how the interview reflects on using pronouns, emotions, hesitations, and themes. As a class, everyone was told to count how many times the usage of "I", "you", "it", etc. were stated, by counting their appearances and then marking them down. Also, the thoughts of "macro" and "micro" levels were shown by reflecting on the "micro-level" being in the classroom, whereas the "micro-level" was around the social interactions, the use of language, race and ethnicities. In addition, finding patterns in the story also reflects the micro-level.
Furthermore, by getting deeper in depth with the Interview Handout, the process seemed to become clearer as to what the two ladies were speaking about. Using the concepts of Discourse Anaylsis among analyzing the structures of marking, counting, and reviewing the interview, readers should be able to identify what the work is all about.
