In my audio recording, I responded to a few concerns. I first
responded to my feelings I had after I finished reading the two works and to
how they both appeared on the page. Additionally, I responded to what I felt
the authors were trying to get across to the reader through their word and
appearance choices. I decided to respond solely to the works for this response
because I felt they were intriguing, not only by the ideas and themes the
readings were trying to get across to the reader, but also how they appeared on
the page and what role that played in the meaning of the work. I felt I would complete
one of my audio requirements for this response because even though I had poems
and paragraphs marked to talk about, I just wanted to say what I felt about the
works as they came to mind to kind of mimic how I felt when I first read the
works. One limitation of just talking, without having a complete thought
already planned out, is having pauses and breaks in sentences while talking. I
know especially for me this happens because I usually think much faster than I
talk so sometimes I don’t always say exactly what I’m trying to get across, or
I’ll change the wording of my thought mid-sentence to make my thoughts clearer
to the person who is listening to me. Through this response, I learned that I
do attempt to understand why authors, writers or poets do things in the way
they do to better understand the meaning of their work. I was rereading pieces
of Zong over and over again to try to figure out why he had placed certain
words and phrases in specific positions on the page, so I could further
understand the poem as a whole.
