Interviews

Pretend you are a reporter and that you have decided to interview the men who hang out on Joe Clarke's porch. Ask them about their views regarding Sykes and his position within Eatonville. Write an interview of several characters and their responses to questions about Sykes. Speak in your own voice within the interview questions, but write the men's responses in the dialect prescribed by Zora Neale Hurston within the characters' speech.
