Organizing I

What content most dramatically embodies the binary opposites in order to provide access to the topic?

[I'm not real confident I understand what this question is asking, but I'll take a stab at it!]

While I need to re-read the reflections that the students submitted with their assignments, I suspect that the interviews provide the most dramatic representation of the binary opposites. I know when the students talked about reaching their epiphanies they used strong and vivid words (...magic...it hit me....swept across my mind...). I think, too, the interviews represent the embodiment of the binary opposites simply because I asked questions about before doing the project, during the doing of the project, and after the project. This particular binary opposite of powerlessness to powerful that teeters on the fulcrum of the epiphany naturally emerges from those kind of questions.

Because this question is asking about "access to the topic" I expect it is suggestive, in a way, that one might enter the story through the content that embodies the binary opposites...meaning that I should work through the interviews, using them as my main field texts (I'm making this up now...guessing...saying something "out loud" to see if it sounds really stupid)...or perhaps it is suggesting that the interviews might provide a natural theme around which to tell the larger story of these three smaller stories.
