Original Sexy and I know it, LMFAO

          The cover has the same lyrics but the instrumentation, singing and rhythm is extremely different.  The original song has a fast upbeat tempo and is almost comical. The cover is sung in a blues tone with an acoustic guitar for instruments.  It could be taken more seriously and has a slow and smooth tone. 

Mini Oral History

This assignment for the mini oral history was definitely something I had never had to do before.  It was a new experience in my writing and was a lot easier to sit and work on than something like a regular research paper.  Getting to interview someone from my family was interesting.   As a kid you don't normally hear your grandparents stories about their own childhoods, it's something you have to be a bit older to appreciate.  Performing the interview was a little difficult with finding questions to open into full stories, but I feel like knowing the person I was interviewing I could fill in the back story to further explain things.
