Abstract
In the late winter of 2012, I set out to collect a series of stories from my grandparents, primarily my grandfather. Using a recorder, I collected these stories. I then transcribed them and clarified the text, while adding contextual information. Through these, I've captured the "voice" of Dutch Creek language, as well as the life experiences of a particular individual. In the afterword, I prepared a rhetorical analysis of the situation in the kitchen where the stories were recorded, based on an article by Lloyd F. Bitzer, a theoretician widely acknowledged for his work.
