Interview One Questions
The first interview is between two sisters. I questioned the oldest sister, which is 30 years old. I believe that this sibling relationship is between Intimate and congenial. The reason I think this, is because the sisters seem very close and seem to accept that their relationship is valued by both of them. I also believe that the relationship is congenial because the siblings seem to be friends as well. These sisters seem to be emotionally supportive, and they understand each other, and know most everything about each other.

Interview Two Questions
For this interview I talked with a lady about her relationship with her older brother. They were the only two children, and seemed to be close when they were younger, but grew apart, once they became married and having families of their own. The type of relationship I think these siblings have is between Congenial and Loyal. The reason is because they are not that close, but they care about each other, and are busy with their own families. I think that they are loyal siblings because they share the same childhood and parenting, and have regular contact with each other on holidays, or if the family comes together for their parents or children. I also think that these siblings support each other if there is a crisis.
Q. What is the age difference between yourself and your brother or sister?
A. 3

    My brothers bond was different because of the years between them, 20 years to be exact. My brother Joseph is the eldest of ten siblings, Carlos is the 4th, Anthony the 9th and the youngest is Johnny. Thinking of each brother and how different they are from one another makes me chuckle at the memories that I can still recall. Joseph practicing daily to master his skills of Karate and pretending he was the next Bruce Lee, Carlos was constantly singing his songs in the shower or around the house using a fake microphone, Anthony was a quiet kid and kept to himself most of the time.…

    I feel that siblings who are closer in age—say, a year apart—are more likely to differentiate than siblings separated by a bigger age gap, like four years. My sister and I are eight years apart and are so similar it is unbelievable. Although she has blonde hair and hazel eyes and I have brown hair and brown eyes, we are both outgoing and enjoy to live our lives to the fullest. My sister has taught me no matter where I am in life I always have someone there for me, either it being getting a good night kiss every night to sharing the T.V. remote.…
