I chose this video because I enjoy winter and enjoyed this story. I also saw many good elements of digital storytelling that I learned to recognize through the previous assignment.
- Point of View. The point of view for this story is that of a daughter reflecting on time spent with her father when she was a child on the cusp of adolescence. The voice is that of the daughter as an adult. She narrates the story.
- Dramatic Question. The dramatic question for this story is the lines about snow in the beginning. The narrator says "...we got more snow than I've ever seen". This statement implores the listener to stay and find out what happened when so much snow came.
- Emotional Content. The emotional content of this is nostalgia and loss. The story itself is a nostalgic tale of times past; one of the last times the narrator plays with her dad as she is becoming a teenager and moving beyond that chapter in their lives. The narrator goes on to relate her childhood memory to her current life, and within that transition she touches on loss. The narrator says she fears that her father will pass away once she graduates, as if he is only hanging on to watch her become successful and independent.
