Baruch voices was funny, emotional and certainly worthwhile. I had three favorite performances/pieces. One was the piece on Squid ward and the bubble show. I honestly thought the student was sharing his life story until the very end. I found it quite interesting how real he made the perspective of Squid ward sound. It was well crafted and the plot twist at the end was absolutely hilarious. I’ve never heard of someone describing a story from the viewpoint of a Spongebob character, and for that I give this guy’s piece a 10/10. Another comedic performance was the one about the juicy KFC chicken. It made my mouth water and crave some KFC. The imagery, language, and the students tone made this piece funny and relatable. I don’t know whether or not it was intentional, but the student had his hat tilted so far down that it was very difficult to see his face. Either way, I’m glad that he chose to do that because it made me focus more on his language and made it easier for me to picture the scene in my head, rather than focusing on his facial expressions. Lastly, the piece “Wasting Time” left me thinking about it for a while. I found this piece relatable since many of us struggle with procrastination from time to time and desire to one day take initiative and do something meaningful. I feel that this piece tied in perfectly with the current place we are in the semester, where many of us slowly become less and less motivated, but this work slightly pushed me to think about how productive I can be when I’m wasting time.
