In the interview with Rosemary Pepe by Clifton Hood, the interviewer is trying to find out information about Rosemarys Grandfather, who worked on the subway during it's early days of construction. Clifton asks questions about his life as an immigrant, the granfathers work experience, and his experience working in the early days of the NYC subway.

As far as the interviewee goes we don't see a whole lot about their personality although we learn that Rosemary was very proud of her Grandfather. We learn a great deal about the personality and experiences of the Grandfather. He appeared to be a hardworking person who went back and forth from Italy to America and worked on various jobs including tiling, and helping build the NYC Subway in it's early days of construction. From what we hear from Rosemary he was someone who cared a lot about family and gave his wife a lot of support in her endeavors.

The historical context of the interview is the early 1900's when the NYC subway was first being built. This time period was mentioned by Rossemary Pepe during the interview.

This interview had some similarities in it with the interview with Mike from Turkel, specifically Mike and Rosemarys Grandfather both expressed that they wanted their kids to have more opportunities so they didn't have to do those same kind of jobs when they grew up.
