Unsafe any speed and Mr. Voice

 In both stories the use of humor and  and place make the story come way more to life. The story seems to get comfortable with you while your reading it. Even though I am too familiar with Florida a little the story still gave me much more detail about places that I never been in "Unsafe at any Speed". In Mr.Voice I got much connected with the character Tanya because of how she told her story about her experience with her mother remarrying.
  In Unsafe at any speed the Florida seemed to unveil itself as he drove and explained not only the heat but the way the vines and trees looked to him as he drove. It also in a weird way made me feel hot as and agitated as he drove in his caravan. I felt the feeling of how he wished he was able to update his car and how bad he wanted to make the car auction.
  Mr. Voice used humor in so many ways to its advantage. For one the story coming from a young girl not even a teenager yet going through this actually in a way gave it a more lighter look from the story. Even though it was a serious moment for her(Tanya), the way she told (or was written) gave it the humor it needed to get intrigued in the story. For example when she has to hear her mother and Claude have sex it could have been told with much more seriousness but instead she added the scenes of what was said it made it more lighter, even though it was hard situation for her the style of the writer made it more bearable to understand that this ten year old girl is overhearing her mother have sex with a man who is old and twice her mom age.
