TTS Readings

One of the things that really stuck out in the reading was- "How could I bring this important moment to life?'
Then I read a series of points to you do bring an important moment to life:
   1. Accuracy- details have to be completely accurate
   2. Atmosphere- use sound, smells; recreate the experience
   3. Dialogue- effective dialogues important
   4. Emotion- tap into what people are feeling about the events.
I thought all of these points were important, even though its described through recreating a movie, or play. I guess it depends on how you plan on using your profile, and bringing it to life in your own way.

Mrs. Kelly's Monster

What a complete difference reading this text after Zepp's Last Stand. I'm glad I had saved this reading second, because it was so engaging and interesting. By the time the story had ended, I didn't even realize I had read that much. I loved the way the aneurism was referred as a "monster". Personally, I've never had someone close to me have an aneurism, but I have had a few aunts' diagnosed with various cancers, along with my sister being a drug addict. Hearing the term "monster" brought me back to those circumstances, especially referring to my sister. The whole time reading I felt like I was watching a Grey's Anatomy episode, with McDreamy operating while Meredith Grey was his scrub nurse. I think thats why I enjoyed reading it so much, Grey's Anatomy is one of my favorite shows.

Zepp's Last Stand

Not gonna lie, trying to get through this reading in the beginning was pretty difficult. It was boring, and at times hard to follow. I knew someone was interviewing him to some extent, but trying to figure out Zepp's journey was tough. It wasn't until about page 6, that I started to become interested in finding out the final verdict. Needless to say, I'm glad I treked through, and found out that the little old man got his final wish. It reminded me of my grandparents, always trying to get the last word (usually they're completely right). I couldn't help but laugh while reading the determination he had, because it reminded me so much of them. My inner-self cheered a little when he was documented as Honorable Discharge. I believe everyone who serves in the war should receive more recognition then they are given, after all, they have fought/are fighting for our freedom.

3 people that I would consider profiling are: 

1. My sister Robyn-

She had childhood cancer growing up 

2. My friend Charlie- 

We went to high school together, and were great friends. He worked hard at his dream and became a professional hockey player in the NHL 

3. I'm still debating on the 3rd option but, I considered my high school soccer coach
