In the interview from Harvard, the interviewer and the journalist start from Stephen Greenblatt’s childhood and end up to where he currently is. During his childhood, Stephen was greatly influenced by his parents. His mother was a stay at home mom while his father was a lawyer. Although his mother did not have a college education, he still learned stories from his mother. Many of the stories he was told were not related to family. They were stories in which other people told stories to his parents and were told to him. Also, many were meant to symbolize him as a character to teach him a type of lesson. In his home, there was not a great deal of influence from literacy. As he grew older, he took into consideration what his decisions could be. In the end, he decided to stay and finish his education in England instead in pursuing law in Yale.
