Voice
Read "Ashes" by David Sedaris in your text on page 139. Listen for Sedaris' voice in the text - what mannerisms are apparent? How does he use word choice and sentence structure to set a tone?
AFTER you have read the trext and formed a sense of Sedaris in your mind, go to the link to the text website (you'll have to set up an account) and listen to the audio clips of Sedaris reading his work. If you can't get to the Convergences site, try Googling "David Sedaris audio." How does hearing his voice influence, reinforce or change your initial impressions just from the reading?
How do you think the medium affects the message in Sedaris' case?
Post your response to your blog, and read and comment on your classmates's blogs before the next class meeting.
