Thinking back to the difference between live performances done by authors compared to their actually written copy. I could not help but think of Jane Goodall. Her speech was so inspiring, yet somehow I really did enjoy reading one of her books more. I feel like I learned so much more from the book almost like I was inside her mind at times. However in her speech which was inspiring, I felt like there was so much of her life and goals left out. i feel like in book authors really have an opportunity to open up their minds to the reader.
I agree books and written work gives time for revision and precision whereas a speech can miss points and must be condensed into a shorter period of time
