The first audio essay I listened to was Norrelle Carter’s. She focused on two narratives, the first one being reading and the second literature. She gave person stories like how reading literature made her feel more empowered and something she enjoyed doing a lot. She also informed the listener how she restarted he essay with a different topic because she did not like her topic at first, which is a good advice for this assignment.
The second essay was by Eric Seger. He started the story with his dream to be a sports journalist, and connected it to the memory of his dad coming home with newspaper with the sports sections. He reminisces waking up early to eat with his father in the morning and read the sports section. He includes and audio recording of this mother speaking on this time in his life when he started following sports, which was a different and interesting approach.
