1). I read Sit Up Straight about Asissi, Italy. It seems more fancy (the meals), at least the restaurant that they went to does. “Look, it’s Italy. You drink the water fizzy here.”
' “I don’t drink fizzy water. I don’t like olive oil. And I’m not eating pigeons.”
“You don’t have to. But get your head up off the table and decide what you dowant to eat. And close your mouth when you chew. Do you want people to think you’re an American with no manners?” '

It's obvious that there is a difference in the meals. I can really get a feel of Asissi, Italy in this article by the way she talks about the geography. 

2). The audio essay offers more tone of the author than a written essay would, because the author will speak it how they meant it to be interpreted if it had been written down. I listened to the essay Soccer Addict by Deb Smith. The way she said "....or sometimes skirts, and that was the men...." put her tone into the essay more than it would if it was her just reading it aloud. I preferred this rather than reading it because I feel like I would understand her better by listening to her speak the essay. 

3). To Deb Smith:

When you're traveling, are you always focused on the details around you and how you could write about it?

What is the favorite place you have traveled?
