At my fieldsite I haven't really used a lot of interviews or asked a lot of questions. I have based all of my information, for now, on observation. Here and there I will get some insight from my informant, who is my sister, but I haven't directly asked any questions yet. When I go to my fielsdite I usually am alone just sitting on the bleacher watching the softball team play. My sister is on the team, but it isn't like I can talk to her while she is playing, so I just watch and wait. I'm really just an outsider when it comes to actually observing the players, but when they are done playing I get more into the mix.
My relationship with the informant is obviously close since we are related. Whenever I come visit though, I am her main priority, therefore I probably don't know a lot of stuff that goes on when I'm not around. Our relationship is strong in a sense that we can talk about anything. Basically we are like good friends that don't really hold anything back. On the other hand, she is close to some girls on the team and I have witnessed several times that she doesn't like to talk about anyone other players when I am around.
When my sister talks to me about anything I know that she's telling me the truth. She has no reason to lie or sugar coat anything. But, that is only when she wants to tell me stuff. I don't want to force anything out of her.
