Perfect Moments

Personally, the tone that Brian used made me interested rather than throw me off. His sarcasm and humor kept me intrigued the whole time. It helped to keep it a bit light hearted when talking about a heavy subject, suicide.

Honestly, I do agree with the policy that says the caller must ask for help before receiving help. If the caller receives help without asking for the help then they aren't in control and being in control was something that Brian said he wanted to feel and did when holding the gun in his mouth. The person might not actually want the help and they could just be wanting an anonymous voice to talk to or if they receive the help they don't want they could do it again. On the flip side it makes sense that they shouldn't have to ask for help in order to limit cases such as Brian's phone where the callers ask for help to late, but if that happens maybe they do not have their "perfect moment."

This podcast relates to the paper we are writing now as Brian basically does a peer profile on Amy. He paraphrased and quoted her while explaining in detail who she was and what their conversation was about in a concise manor as he used under 20 minutes to talk about what happened in an hour long phone call. This is something that is a part of the essay as we need to be able to explain in detail the same things of our interview, mine was around 20-30 minutes, into 750 words.
