This story starts out with "Let's talk about Miss Devine". It starts out with that beginning that can pull people in, I was pulled into the story and it had reminded me of certain people I've known in retrospect to Miss Devine's character. A simple story that yet is easy for the audience to identify to.

The quickness of the questions put me off a little, it was hard for me to connect with the interview, but then after reading that the old lady died, it became clearer by the way they presented the story that there was some meaning behind her reluctancy to answer questions, she was strong willed, and stubborn at times, and you could hear in the son's voice the sadness of his mother's passing. In the end I was able to understand the story, and the idea that loved ones could pass at any moment, and and moment spent with them before their end is important and something to remember.

A woman tells of her past marriage with her x-husband, and how even though the two were divorced, he loved her all the same. He called on 9/11 before he died. I think Story Corps has an ambitious endeavor of showing how everymoment counts in life. You never know when you'll be able to speak with someone for the last time. Their effort to interview every person affected by 9/11 tells a tale of the people who died on that fateful day and the people who are still living. The stories themselves are there to remember the victims. Each and every story has a way of gaining empathy and emotion from the audience, which is what I think makes these stories so great.

Icing on the Cake is a very inspirational story in itself. Personally it is hard for people who have had sheltered lives to think about what life would be like working for little pay, going without decent food for 6 months, and other hardships. This story brings to light how the family in the story made ends meat and worked up from a hard situation. Taking time to work and go through school, while raising kids, is a very tedious task, which the parents were able to pull off. This gave inspiration for their kids to strive hard as well.

Video Journalism 2nd post

This is a story about an elderly couple and the love and companionship they have for each other. The two talk about how they met, and how eventually their lives get complicated with the looming threat of cancer. The story was edited well to become a heartwarming tale, and seeing how they revisited the couple (consequentially after the husband had been deceased) shows just how enduring their love is.

A story about a mother and her son who has Aspergers syndrome (A form of autism). The son asks very deep questions that makes her mother thinks about the answers. In essence the mother shows how there is no normal way of parenting, and that she had to learn and grow as a parent in order to raise her son. The interview brings up a relationship that everyone has, a relationship between parents and their kids. This relationship was one that appealed to me personally as well as other people. It makes you think about other instances in parenting, and how in this case the mother is doing a fine job in raising her child (while other parents might neglect parenting with a normal child, this mother had a child with little to no social skills and had to change herself to raise her kid. It is a dynamic standpoint).

1st English Blog Post
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trmG0mgrkM8
This link leads to a video of a man talking about a traumatic experience in World War II. He discusses how after shooting a german soldier that crawled up to his position, he felt the guilt of killing the soldier. This clearly shows how even in war, killing is immoral. At least this man thought that in his subconscious. He felt guilty, and it stayed with him for the rest of his life.

This video is about a man telling his thoughts on the human voice. He presents his story in a unique way that shows how people in everyday society take for granted the human voice. It portrayals how more hostile the public seems to get, in mind, when someone acts awkwardly or someone acts outwardly casual, they are seemingly detested by the public around them. The man makes a point that everyone is uptight, for seemingly harmless situations to happen. He ends the story by proclaiming that a human voice has been heard (a baby's laugh).
