The digital story “Learning To Ride” I watched is a story about family written by Rachel Pater. (URL:http://www.storycenter.org/stories/index.php?cat=4) In this story, the author describes her memory about a tendem bike which plays an important role in her life. At about 8 years old, author’s father bought a tendem bike to ride with his daughter. Since this is the only tendem bike in the neighborhood, people were always curious and amazed about it. Once, author and her father riding passed some bikes, a kid pointed the tendem bike to his friend and said “ look, a two -person bike.” After hearing this word, her father said loudly enough to let them hear: “ look, Rachel, a one-person bike.” Author was proud of be different and thought her father is the funniest dad in the world. However, when the author grew up, she always made excuses to not get out with her father in the public. She didn’t want to hold her parents in public and talk with them at night. One day her father made a suggestion of riding the tendem bike with her, but she refused. Then her father rode bikes by himself. Author thought it was ridiculous to ride a two-person bike alone. She remembered clearly that her father once said to her: “ You can not care what people think about you.”
In this digital story, author expresses her respect to her father by recalling riding a tendem bike with her father. The story has a obvious propose of showing relationship with author’s dad. It is pretty interesting and engaging. The script is well spoken and the spacing is outstanding. I like the music used in this story and the tone of narrator. The images and content are combined well, adding new insight. There are many specific details, portraying the deep emotion of author.
