9. What is significant about the lead (lede) and the final paragraph of the story?
They both mention "the voice"

10. Why do you think the writer did that with the lead (lede) and final paragraph?
To add an extra effect to the whole story. 

11. Was the story interesting to read?
Yes 

12. When you finished the story, but BEFORE you watched the video, did you want to hear the voice?
Yes, I did.

13. Multimedia approaches are powerful tools, what impact did the video have when watched directly after reading the story?
You realized how remarkable the gift that this man had was and that his voice truly belonged on the radio.

14. Would the story have lost its impact without the video?
No, it was well detailed and didn't need a video to have impact

15. Did the writer try to come up with a way for you to hear the voice, i.e. did he try to describe the voice or give you a way to "hear" the voice without really hearing it?
The writer made it known that Williams' voice was remarkable, but the reader could not imagine what it truly sounded like.

16. How did the writer do that?
The writer kept on putting quotes of what Williams' said and the reader could almost hear it in his amazing radio voice.
