Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview Kaylee Hartigan-Go Interviewee The person(s) being interviewed Catherine Hartigan-Go Location The location of the interview Manila, Philippines Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Kaylee: Do you think that the school environment — such as learning it with classmates, having to write essays about it, being quizzed on the novel — impacted how you personally learned the book? Catherine: [0:10] Yes, because, you know, one of the things that they had us do was do the role play; that's one way to reinforce the story. Of course having quizzes, long tests and, you know, having it be part of the exams, is no fun. You always had to remember, ‘Okay, which character was this?’ It’s more that you have to remember it because you need it for the tests. It was good to have classmates to suffer through it with you. But I think partly is, I'm just interested in literature, anyway. So it was not a difficulty for me to get into it. And the story really is compelling. But I do think probably, I would learn it better if it wasn't required. But it's possible that if it wasn't required, I wouldn't even have read it to begin with. So yeah, it's probably good to make you read it early on, and then later on you can read it as literature. And also in high school, you're not really, you know, as analytical and they don't make you discuss it in the way that you discuss literature in college, for instance. So it's really more about the details: Which happened first? Who’s doing this? Why is this character doing that? You don't really think of it as a whole so much; you think of it in chapters. Because, I mean, that's the way we learn it, right? You're assigned certain chapters, so those are the chapters you discuss. You don't really get a chance to discuss the whole book, as a whole. [2:20] It's only later on when you're looking back and you’re looking at the whole story — not having to do with the dates, or the place, or the person — but you kind of see the entire backdrop against which it's happening that you understand why it had to happen like that. It's sort of like that for this book also. When you stop worrying about the little details, then you can get to see the bigger picture. And you understand better what the novel is about.
