Review of The Death of the Christmas Chicken (deleted)
This is a wonderful short piece told with humor and affection. The producer conveys a serious message on the value of shared family memories without being overly sentimental. This is a very engaging personal commentary that brings the listener into a comfortable sense of intimacy with the teller of the story.
As the first reviewer stated, the juxtapositon of working kids with a translation of their words by English-speaking children is a strong component of the piece. This feature of the story could make it a good piece for helping children in first world countries gain an understanding about the lives of children in developing countries. The piece serves the listener well by touching on the differing perspectives of child labor and by contrasting children working to assist their families with outright exploitation of children in the labor market.
Wonderful short piece that captures and conveys a love of language and poetic expression. One of those radio pieces that catches the ear and enriches the listener.
