Interviewee 2 is one of my roommates, Savannah. She was five-years-old in her earliest memory, which consists of her mom taking her down the street to her friend’s house and he had just been bitten by a dog. She was walking up the steps to his porch and he was at the top. He had a huge black spot of stitches on his face and he was smiling and pulled out this pack of Hubba Bubba gum. I think this is a very unusual event, which can play a role as to why this is her earliest recollection of an event in her life. I do think the nature of it being so unusual has great significance in the fact that it was remembered. Her recollection is such a random event that it could not be considered 'routine.' Like with Benji's memory, Savannah would be seemingly less likely to remember mundane daily activities, as opposed to an event that strays from the norm. Her reason concerning why she is unable to remember anything from when she was younger than her earliest memory is because of the amount of concussions she’s had over the years.
