1. What did you enjoy about listening to this story? 

About the content: Although I heard part of the story before, I enjoy listening to the record, and I have new point of view about the story. Before, I just knew that Odysseus was a intelligent and brilliant hero, who helped Greek win the triumph. However , after listening to the story, I learnt that instead of a hero, Odysseus was a miserable husband and father. He was compelled to leave his lovely wife and son, who was so young. He have suffered from countless mental painful during his glorious journey. Simply put, after listening to the record, I know a realer and more emotive Odysseus.

About the speaker: I think the speaker is pretty good. He has very emotive tone, which made me resonate when he was telling the miserable life of Odysseus. In addition, I love his speaking pace, which was slow and smooth and made me really comfortable.
2. What frustrates you about listening to a story rather than reading it?

One thing that annoyed me is the speed of the speaker, which also make me enjoy it. Comparing to read the book, the slow speed kind of make me boring. Another frustrating thing is that though the speaker have really emotive tone, the tone also restricted my imagination. When I am reading a book, I will envision the features and the tone of characters. However, when I was listening to the record, the speaker voice stifled my imagination.
