Analyze the Media

Possible responses:

1. (a) The LibriVox presentation is faster paced. The
   two versions are about the same length, but
   the readers in the LibriVox presentation fit in an
   introduction and stage directions. DoK 3 (b) The
   L.A. Theatre Works production makes it easier to
   understand characters and their motivations. The
   Librivox version spells out the visual aspects of
   what would go on in the staged play. DoK 3


2. Some students may say that the LibriVox version is
   easier to understand because two of the readers
   in this version read in ordinary voices and do not
   dramatize their roles. DoK 3


3. Responses will vary.

Media Vocabulary

For more support, see media vocabulary.

Possible responses:

1. The LibriVox version uses editing to include the
   stage directions and scene-setting information
   that help listeners visualize the action.


2. The L.A. Theatre Works version uses eerie
   background music and sound effects to help
   create a mysterious mood.


3. The L.A. Theatre Works version has better pacing.
   In the LibriVox version, the introduction and stage
   directions interrupt the flow.
