Review of Procrastination

“Do I do my homework Friday night or Sunday afternoon?” is a drastic choice all teenagers go through every weekend. Procrastination is the story of the constant struggle between teenagers and their homework. Procrastination is a very nicely done piece; I enjoyed the guitar music in the background and how it reflects the tone of the narrator. The guitar music ties in nicely with the story and really makes this piece for me. I like the addition of a different voice besides the narrator which is unusual in a personal tale. The addition of sound effects, like pencil writing on paper, gives the listener a good picture of what is happening to the narrator. The piece has undertones of the different views of this generation and the last generation. One problem I had with this piece was the guitar sometimes became too loud and made it hard for the listener to hear the narration. I really liked this piece and would highly recommend it.
