Mark Bezos recaps an experience he has from his time being a volunteer fire fighter. In order to capture the attention of his audience he employs several aspects of writing voice. One technique Bezos uses is vivid imagery.
Imagery:
Mark Bezos uses imagery to set the scene. He begins at the beginning of the video by saying, "Here it was, the middle of the night, she was standing outside in the pouring rain, under an umbrella, in her pajamas, barefoot, while her house was in flames." I think this is good detail to include at the beginning of a story so that the audience can really picture what the scene looked like. Also the audience can also get an idea of how the homeowner may have felt. Another good use of imagery appears about two minutes into the video when Bezos describes the salvaged objects as "treasures" this really emphasizes the importance of his assignment.
Insight:
Bezos uses his own understand to deliver a very powerful message. In the last minute of his video he says to the audience, " Don't wait until you make your first million to make a difference in somebody's life." Bezos is very successful man.
For Imagery I liked how you mentioned the "Salvaged Objects" in your analysis
ReplyDeleteI agree that it does in fact help to emphasize the detail in the story. Also in the beginning when Bezos described the homeowner I liked how you said that it helps to set the scene as well as paint a picture in the reader's mind of what the situation would be like. And wouldn't it also help the plot to drive forward
