Comparing The Story 'After Listening To An Hour Of The Moth'

Reflection
After listening to an hour of the Moth, I would have to say a lot of these stories are sad but there’s always something to learn from them. How much Darly McCormick loved her son and protected him from racism, how Adam Gopnick learned how to communicate to his son through instant messaging, what Erin Baker had to face when she learned her mother was pregnant with someone she had an affair with. They also share funny moments as well during the story so it is all not doom and gloom but the stories also share lessons they learned from their experience.
The MOTH has a variety of stories to tell from comedy to drama, short or long, with an inspirational message or just a story to make you laugh. The stories have vivid details so

you can imagine the scene they are describing and feel what the storyteller felt in that moment. I like the MOTH because I know that listening to these varieties of stories can definitely help when I write my scripts and short stories.
My favorite story was from Hector Black called “Forgiveness.”The message of the story is said when he quotes his friend,“When you hate, you take poison and expect the other person to die.” The amount of strength and compassion Hector had to have to forgive the man who murdered his daughter. He learned about the man’s story and ended up hugging him. It’s sad what happened to Hector but inspiring of what he did after.
