ethnography

I read the ethnography on “The American male at age 10”. The ethnography is about this woman name Susan who is conducting a study on this 10 year old boy name Collin. Susan studies Collin’s everyday schedule and how he conducts and things he does at his age. She observes the ways he behaves in public places such as school or at the playground or even at the pizzeria his behavior around his family. She observes his interests for example Collin loves to recycle. In the article Susan gives very specific detail of Collin. Specially when it comes to describing the way he looks or something that Collin might be wearing. Susan gives very good detail of Collin features and looks. When you read the ethnography as she describes Collin you can visually image Collin in your head. She also focus on the way Collin interacts with his friends. Susan also focus on the fact that Collin wants to be in the FBI when he is older. I like how Susan gives you a little detail of the neighborhood Collin lives in and his family background. Susan also talks about what Collin fantasizes about for example he dreams to move to Wyoming with his family and buy his own ranch. In this ethnography Susan gave every specific detail about Collin that it gives you a clear view of the type of 10 year old boy Collin is.
