Perfect Moment Response

Brian’s tone made me interested in the podcast and threw me off. He entertained his audience which kept my attention on what he was saying in the podcast. He was amazingly funny without even trying to be. However, when goes on talking about a girl that’s about the same age as me and was in a situation where she wanted to take her life, he started to crack jokes. It was a serious matter, and he kind of made it into a humorous story. It wasn’t that bad to the point it was considered disrespectful, but it was kind of not okay.

I do not agree about the policy that says the caller must ask for help prior to receiving help because I do believe we should step in whether they ask for it or not. If a life is involved, we must do something. Some people are not in the right state of matter, and like a girl like Amy, we sometimes don’t think things all the way through. We younger adults tend to always look at the negative aspects of life but never the positive ones and that’s a reason why we might consider suicide.

I think this podcast has something to do with the research paper we are writing now. Sometimes when we write our tone does not match our content. For example, Brian’s story was sad, but his tone was humorous and that could throw off the audience. In our writing, our content must match our tone. If we are writing a funny piece, a tone would be humorous. If our writing is more of a research, then our tone should be informational.
