Review of Jimmy's Story


Short, simple, and sending shivers down my spine, this piece had me riveted, waiting to hear the next haunting moment in Jimmy's heart-wrenching story. The simplicity of this piece creates an intimate relationship between the listener and the audio, in this case, Jimmy. Effectively placed background sounds and music appropriately accompanied the somber mood of the piece and put me into the scene; such intensity yielded fear for my own safety and a desire for justice to those who carry out wretched violence. This piece is a perfect testimonial for anti-bullying campaigns, giving a voice to those who experience bullying and have nowhere to turn. Stories about bullying are unfortunately common, but one as gripping as this shouldn't be missed.
