3. Feelings
Confused, angry, happy, shocked, amazed
I chose this story because I thought it was very unique and it really stood out to me. After being robbed, the logic and usual thing would be to just run away and get as far away from the person who robbed you. But Julio, the guy talking in this interview, did not do that, as the robber walked away, he told him he forgot something and offered to give the robber his coat to keep him warm. Then offers to take him to dinner, he pays for their dinner and gives him $20. It was really powerful how nice this guy was to do this for a person who robbed him. I think it is very powerful how Julio tells the robber that "you should be nice to everybody," because these were not just words, they were shown in Julio's actions towards the robber. This made the robber feel sorry, and give Julio his wallet back as well as the knife he was carrying.
This story is good because it flows together, and it is very powerful. It expresses emotions in the listener. After you are done listening to the story you are left with lots of emotions and feelings, which is emotional engagement, like amazed, shocked and happy to know there are still nice people in this world who do nice things for people who aren't nice to them, because as Julio said, "you should be nice to everybody." I also liked how he added some humor to the story. It includes the rule of empathy and makes you laugh and go wow and aww. It also teaches us about the experience Julio went through when he got robbed, and he has a very interesting story because it is not like any other story of someone being robbed. It has a defined main character, which is Julio and is a very nice person, and also specific details to make it a really good story.

3. Feelings
sad, empathy, sympathy
I chose this story because it was very powerful. It was sad how after Dennis and Buelah Apple lost their son, the dad thought of him closing the garage door and him and his wife going into their car and leaving it running so that both of them would die together. I think it is interesting how so far the dad was saying the story but after he said that, the mom's voice comes in and she says what she told her husband right after that, which was that her other son Andy needed them and they had to stay alive for him. It is also interesting how the dad was a pastor for funerals and weddings and how he heard people say that the almost died but their guardian angel saved them so then he asks where was his son's guardian angel the day he died. There were grief lasted for about 5 years but then they decided to stop that living and try to live as happy as they could, which is what their son would have wanted.
This is a good story because it has specific details throughout it like how the dad said he felt like they threw a bucket of ice cold water at his face. It also requires emotional engagement as you feel sadness because the son died and then you feel bad for the parents because of how they wanted to die because their son was gone and they were living with grief for multiple years. I think it's interesting how it includes both the voice of the mom and dad to show how they both felt after their son died.
