TU Tuesday Geust Speaker

On Tuesday Paul Grondahl came and talked with our class about his works. He seemed comfortable sitting right up in the front. His hands didn't seem to be shaking and no other signs of nervousness were really present. He connected with us by having us talk the most and even asked us questions. He also talked about our reading choices to connect with us. Although I was sitting in the front it seemed he could really preject his voice to the back and he truly enunciated his words while getting his point across quickly. Like when he was talking about what makes good writing different. He speaked loudly even when other people were asking him questions in almost a whisper. He seemed to talk about just the right amount of information. It never seemed like he was rambling on but he wasn't gibing one word anwers. Like when he was talking about the internet versus the newspaper, He didnt ramble on but he supported his oppinion. Although he seemed to jump around at some parts he managed to keep his information mostly organized. It wasn't hard to follow but it also wasnt in any particular order, like how in hte beginning he talked about how he got into writing and brought up Poppy and Angel and then went back to waht makes good writing.  As a class I thnk we did very good at having the hour long discussion. Although I didnt get the chance to ask a question I believe I did a good job at still focusinng on the discussion and I managed to stay with and understand all the questions and looked like I actually was paying attention. Some people participated more than others like when Andrew went back and forth with him. I enjoyed having a geust speaker it was nice to see how writing could be put into a career and how we could learn about all these interesting things. I wouldn't mind having another speaker.
