Review of My Dad's Private Diet
My Dad's Private Diet is a very interesting piece told in the 2nd
person. It's written like a scene narration with side notes from Berenice Garcia to her dad and I thought it was really cute. This piece is a story told from Berenice?s kitchen with some snatches of her dad eating forbidden ice cream. The audio has a bilingual aspect, since her father talks to her in Spanish and she translates it, which gives the piece some interesting diversity.
My Dad?s Private Diet would perfect for Father's Day which is fast
approaching in June or perhaps show about bad eating habits since her dad eats junk food despite his high cholesterol.
