This
story used humor when it came to sex, the author wanted to incorporate sex in
the story but since its coming from a little girl the author made it with
humor. The way the author describes the sex life of her stepfather and her
mother is hilarious and you don’t feel uncomfortable for Tanya. also how she
describes her mother whom by reading the story is a little bit if not a lot
slutty and she says she never knew the men’s name she knew them by their career,
the accountant the pilot and the firefighter just to name a few that concept
was a little bit easier when reading the story since its coming from the perspective
of a child.

"Unsafe at Any Speed" and "Mr. Voice"
These two stories do similar things. They're both, in places, very funny. And they're also very site specific, FL for the former and Spokane, WA for the later. I'd like you to think about how they use humor and/or place to their advantage.
Unsafe at Any Speed
Narrator described how Theo lives with his family. Theo, his mother, Sherrill, his wife, and his daughter Ashley. Ernie owned
distributorship for Dental equipments, Ernie is Theo boss. Ernie ordered Theo
to see. Wain Wright. He’s got a dental practice in Palaka. Theo pictured the
route-Palatka was at least an hour’s detour from the beeline he’d been planning
to make to Lakeland. He was interesting about “Corvair” to go to see the car
auction in Lakeland. In Palatka, but he wouldn’t see him. The receptionist ask him
give her ride. Her name is Stacey. Her age was around thrity, She abused Theo, made her chauffeur in order
to get her destination, Tampa for a thirty- five mile ride to Tampa, paid TGI
Friday’s, paid for Romada Inn room too. He’d never been unfaithful to Sherrill.
Still Theo never cheated on his wife,
had never even wanted to. Theo found seven thousand cash in Stacey’s handbag.
She cheated Wainwright’s money. Stacey’s mother is staying for her at Tampa,
they will leaving tonight, go back to Taxas, where they were from. He headed back toward
the Atlantic, the thick floating peninsula of La Florida left to cross. They would
be hell to pay when he got home.
Stacey is almost half of theo’s age. Stacey lured Theo
intensively. She made him to persuade to
go Tampa. She used her attractive qualities of her youth. Stacey is not honest,
also thief. That particular day was Theo’s an lucky day.
Mr. Voice
This story started when Tanya was nine then, and Mother thirty-
one. Mother was a stunner, Tanya had
never seen her father. My mother’s motto in 1974;” Come on Tanya no Dawdling.” Mr.
Voice was fifty then, twenty years older
than her mother. His name was Claude Almond. Her mother married him. Tanya met her
stepbrother Brian. Brian made Tanya was happy with music. Tanya’s mother name
was Linda. Claude worked to secure the rights to the books. He was not Mr. Voice
anymore. Mother set up guitar lessons for Brian with Allen. But Allen dated
Linda. Tanya was thirteen, Clay tried to rape her, last moment Claude came home
from work and rescued her. Next year, Linda was killed.Linda’s two sisters
offered to let Tanya come live with them, but Claude said. “Tell them you have
a home.” Brian was gay but he was Tanya’s first lover. They met each other at
Claude’s funeral. Tanya became a special-Ed teacher, then assistant principal,
and now an principal of a middle school, had a good husband, had two daughters
,Joey and Meagan.but her own daughter Meaghan got the tattoos and piercings.
But Tanya can’t say that she blamed her daughter. Tanya looks like her mother, Meaghan look like
Tanya. She can’t blame her daughter. Tanya always wanted to her girls to be
their own people, not to think their fate was tied to bone structure.
This
is great story. Tanya was very lucky to had good father, Mr. Voice. Claude was
really great person. Tanya’s mother were killed by accident, When Tanya
was fourteen. Claude knew immorality
between her mother and Allen. But Mr. Voice took care of Tanya same as his own
daughter.

Mr. Voice
Holy crap what a great story!
Transitions were so well-written that she basically describe your whole life in different parts skipping around flashing back and jumping ahead and basically covering everything.
I can't believe some of the things that happened and as they were happening I remember thinking I hope it doesn't happen and I was grateful when it didn't…
In and around the tragic but triumphant attempted rape that she survived in escaped thanks to her "father" who really truly turned out to be her dad that I can't believe some of the things That I thought was going to happen that I was grateful did not happen.
In the story all the tragedies that really happened as well as all the tragedies I thought we're going to happen overrule through the life the expression "shit happens" comes to mind. She became a strong girl who is truly loved by her stepdad who truly became an acted like a father.
From her mother's daughter too young girl to a young lady to the daughter of her stepfather to a college student career woman and a mother herself burying her stepdad was an incredible progression story Of her entire life.
