Post for this week: "Cybill Shepherd"

The author, in my opinion, did a really great job using descriptive language. For example, the metaphor use in "her attire is like her; it offers high visibility but little revelation." To me, this seem really witty and clever writing. I thought it was interesting how in the beginning, Weathers states that Cybill barely has a southern accent or southern hospitality attributes. However, near the end of the story, Cybill has tranformed into this southern belle who has terrific southern hospitality. It kind of seems like the author believed Cybill to be a type of cameleon who morphed into the role she was given.

There were parts that were completely humorous in my mind. For example, Weathers states that Cybill pronounces the word "horrible" french like "orrreebluh". The adding of how it sounded to him, made me laugh. I really liked how the story would switch from past to present. When it went back to the present tense parts of the story, you would know more and more about her. The way the story is written it is kind of like solving a puzzle.

I thought it was interesting how Cybill's daughter, Clementine, seemed to want the interview to be over. This kind of told the audience that she is jealous of the time her mother spends with her job and not with her. This was a brilliant technique because Weathers did not tell us the daughter seemed to be envious, but actually showed the audience the evidence.
