This first story is about two daughters who interview their dad who is currently suffering with Alzheimer’s disease. This interview interested me because it shows the effects of Alzheimer’s disease on this one individual but when you listen to it you can tell that they’re having a good time together as a family through laughter. They are also able to tell a brief story.
We were given the story of Ken Morganstern, the father, moving to New York where he met his wife, who passed away four years before this interview. This was an intriguing part for me because it was so personal and it gave you the chance to get a background on the family and how they came to be one.
At the end of the interview Morganstern said, “I have no regrets on anything. The important thing is that I have a family that I love and they are loving people. That’s the biggest thing that you leave, is a legacy.”
This brought feelings and emotions out from the listener. Through the whole story you could feel their emotions which is important in story telling, but I really like when the story teller is able to pull emotions from the reader to make them more connected and this is exactly what they did.
