I need some remark on this given discussion post-
I imagined Mr. Nuttel as a man in his late thirties, dress in a business suit. His personally is very serious and factual. He probably speaks with an authoritarian tone of voice and would only discuss things that relate to him or are of his interest, "who imagined that everyone -even a complete stranger- was interested in his illness" (Munroe, 1914). The niece is probably the individual that has an "angelic" appearance and speaks in a manner that convey sincerely. By me imagining the main characters in this manner, the story makes sense to me. After I had listened to the audio, my image of Mr. Nuttel changed. I thought he would have a more aggressive tone of voice instead in the audio his voice is more "relax"; he still sounds like a self-centered individual.
After reading Sojourner speech, I imagine an elder woman who's body shows the many years of hard labor she has had to do. I imagine her to be a small woman that appears bigger due to her strong tone of voice, that demands that others listen to her "and ain't I a woman"(Truth, 1851). My image of Sojourner did not change after viewing the video of Cicely Tyson. To me, Cicely Tyson portraits the individual I had imagined.
I used to think I needed to see an imagine or hands-on training for me to be able to learn something new. But thanks to this activity I think that I can learn if I am given enough details. If a visual or audio are add, it seems only to reinforce my understanding but not change my image.
