This video fits most all of the personal essay characteristics. This is because it gives a great image and picture of what autism is and what the families deal with everyday. It also uses multiple senses. It talks about how all they can hear is the yelling and the screaming of the child and the people that dont know about autism talking about them and their parenting. This video is full of repition every family says the same thing, just in different ways about their own child. Lastly it starts out with small moments that kind of show autism and by the end you really get to see what it is all about and how much these families are going through.
This video does not follow as many of the personal essay themes. There is no talking just music, pictures and then slides with words. But it gives a families opinion of autism and there strickt opinion on it based on specific experiences. It gives great images because of the pictures and then explains them with slides that have words on them. It has much small moments in it, in the start because it starts out when the boy was born and then goes to when hes older and becoming more sever. This is a great example of personal essay.
