The Essay on Mr Smith Goes To Washington
Senator Smith clearly demonstrated his lack of government experience and overall ignorance of the Senate's character when he ambitiously struggled to create a national boy's camp. When Smith asked his secretary, Clarissa Saunders, to help him assemble the bill aimed at forming a boy's camp, Saunder's explained that the bill was very unlikely to be successful in the Senate and tried to discourage ...

The Term Paper on Researched Guidelines and Types of Interviews
Interview An interview is a conversation between two or more people where questions are asked by the interviewer to elicit facts or statements from the interviewee. Although interviews are a standard part of journalism and media reporting, the focus of this piece is on how interviews can be used as a tool for psychological research. Interviews are particularly useful for getting the story behind a ...
Due to the nature of the incident and the emotional shock of the interviewed parties, many of the pertanent items needing to be addressed could not be addressed at the time of the interviews. Courtney’s phone and computer should be checked to see if she had been in contact with anyone after Nora left the residence. Times need to be established for who was interviewed first. Who was the last person to see her alive or talk to her? Why did Nora see her last night but Courtney did not appear at Smith’s residence for a previously arranged meeting? Did Smith see Nora at the residence? Does anyone else know if Courtney and Nora were actually friends or if she was making up her statement? Who responded to the scene to take custody of the body? Who found the body? What medical examiner pronounced her dead on scene?
