Chivalry_small Chivalry's relevance is something that is constantly undermined in today's society. I questioned people from several different demographics and created a story that sheds new light on the art of being a gentleman. Through interviews with the general public, I attempted to gain greater insight and perspective as well as to answer the underlying question...is chivalry dead?

Review

Do you think chivalry is dead? Well thanks to Natalie, after hearing this piece the audience has learned that maybe chivalry is still not quite dead. This piece is really well polished, I really love the way Natalie decided to put the piece together, and we hear a combination of opinions. Not only of women but as well as of the own men themselves. The addition of music was perfect; especially the little tune she chose it went great with the whole chivalry theme. What I most admired of this piece was the way it was organized and put together. It would have not been the same if Natalie would have organized it differently. The pacing is perfect; she doesn’t just throw all the different interviews at the same time they actually flow along perfectly. There is really nothing that I would say that needed to be changed; overall I think Natalie did a great job with this piece. Especially on carrying the message throughout the piece.
