(Roald Dahl)
Something that really stood out to me in Maddie's podcast were this images. While I admit that watching all of these podcasts (and the obnoxious amount of pictures used in each) made me want to gouge my eyes out, I honestly really enjoyed the pictures Maddie used. While describing a bit of Roald Dahl's background, she included many pictures of the man at various stages of his life. I think the reason these images struck a chord with me is that Roald Dajl has always been, to me, an author of children's literature, and therefore more a character of imagination himself. He had never really seemed real. But being introduced to Roald Dahl as a person, I found myself interested in how life had treated him and what his experiences were.
Another aspect of this podcast was Maddie's focus on using titles and book covers to accompany what she was saying. You see, for each of his books, there is a particular, characteristic illustration that many of us have grown up with. I always associate 'The Twits' with the grotesque sketch of a older, clearly maniacal character. I completely enjoyed looking at the various illustrations. For this reason, perhaps this reason alone, i was captivated by what maddie was saying.
She also added in a bit of humourous narration during the reading of her original piece. With the help of a friend, she purposefully changed her tone and the voice used to narrate or give dialogue.
***funny, cheesy, LAME ENDING MADDIE.
that is all. :)
