After hearing this piece I was completely touched. This piece really touched me, it was just really well produced and Shantaye did such an amazing work on putting it all together. The way the story began was what hooks the audience on to wanting to hear more, because it doesn’t start off with right away telling the story from beginning to end rather starting it off with her mother speaking. The pacing was great, Shantaye’s voice is very soft it flows along great. Throughout the story, I actually felt like as if I was there I could perfectly visualize everything that Shantaye described and spoke about. The length of this piece was also amazing, it wasn’t too long or too short it was perfect and she was able to tell her story in detail. Shantaye’s narration affects the piece overall by giving it a feeling to it. By making the audience to want to know more and more and kind of visualize and try to put themselves in her shoes. Overall I think this piece was more than amazing, I learned a lesson myself. I am not always thankful that I have both of my parents by my side, and I take them for granted. But after hearing this piece I realize that not everyone is fortunate to always have their parents by their side.
