Partying on the Weekend
For my observation I went to a house party in town on Saturday night. It was a tightly packed house, meaning there were little rooms and a lot of people. The tight quarters in the house forces people to interact with one another. In order to move from one end of the house to the other some interaction had to take place.

This was one of my main focuses was to see if he would ever come outside of his comfort zone and start conversations with someone new but he never did. I think he is just not the kid that likes to talk, in normal situations he doesn’t talk much either. I am assuming that this individual is from a country/homeschooled household due to his antisocial tendencies.
The pattern I noticed most with behavior was influenced by the amount of alcohol consumed by people. Most people began to become more relaxed and
