poetry out loud

After watching several videos i decided i liked the siren song the best by Margaret Atwood recited by Teal Van Dyck. the parts of her performance that really stuck out were: First her voice and articulation everything she said well very clear and audible. She also used a change in the way she spoke. Another thing she did well on was her Physical presence because she use appropriate gestures and was very poise and was looking at everybody. Last her Understanding of the poem really came through in the poem.

The meaning i get from hearing her say the poem is how men are easily attracted by a damsel in distress. The damsel pretends to be in trouble even though they are not just to attract the men to make them feel important. Also in the poem it said "Alas, It is a boring song, but it works every time" This shows that they don't like pretending they are in trouble but it works so they do it. I got this from the way Teal engaged you in the beginning with her voice to draw you in like the damsel then changed her voice at the end to show how it was easy but she doesn't enjoy doing it.
