The Death of Rapper Tupac Shakur

 
 I interviewed my sister for the international event she was affected by. She was willing to help. My sister talked about the death of the famous rapper, Tupac Shakur. Through my research, I learned that Tupac Shakur was shot seven times in 1997 in Las Vegas shortly after a boxing match.

My sister's most vivid memories are, "I remembered that I was in the club with my friends, and the D.J. stopped the music, and he said that rapper 2Pac (Tupac Shakur) was shot seven times after a boxing match in Las Vegas and that he was in critical condition and he might not make it through. Then I found my friend, Nikki, and I told her that I needed to go home and watch the news because 2Pac got shot and that he might die, so I needed to go watch the news to see the updates.

"My reaction was to the event was that I was shocked and surprised that there is no longer a great rapper in this world because now he's gone. "My reaction at the time was I can't believe that 2Pac is shot and that he might die if things don't go right." So we left the club, and I took out the C.D. that I was playing and I put it on the radio station and the D.J. for the station was talking about the incident that took place, and then a couple of minutes later, I arrived home and I took off my clothes and put on my pajamas and I flip the channel to B.E.T. and they were talking about how he got shot and where he got shot at. Then a couple of minutes later I heard them say that it is a slight chance that he will make it. Then I just busted out with tears like a baby crying. My mom heard me and asked why was I crying, and I told her the story about the whole incident.

 "My reaction as I think back is why did I cry for someone who I never really knew or even met. I think it was because he spoke the truth in his lyrics, and I also thought that he was very cute. I mostly turned to my mom for support because she's been through a lot in her lifetime with deaths and struggles. She always told me that it will be okay and that it will be better days coming for me. I think my sister felt changed because 2Pac was her favorite rapper, and she loved him for a person and a rap artist. My sister suggested that if anyone went through a crisis of the same is to keep strong and keep your head up, because there are going to be better days in the future.


In conclusion, I think that the interview did go well except for when my sister started crying a little, by thinking back to that day in her life. My best talking occurred during the interview because she was telling me what I wanted to know and she was calm as she told her story. I learned that she was emotional about the event and that she really loved and had feelings for 2Pac. I also learned that my sister cares for people she loves a lot and that she is a strong individual when it comes to a crisis situation. I rate this interview a positive note. Because this was a great chance to see what kind of a heart she has and to test her strength inside of her heart.
