Heinrichs pp 38-77

I would definitely tell the story differently, depending on who I am talking to. If I had to tell the story of college party to my mom, I would probably tell her only things that she would not be worrying about. For example, I would tell her that I was just there only for an hour with a bunch of high school friends that she knows who they are. Also, I would tell her that the party was more like “hanging out” thing and came home early. But if I had to tell the story to my best friend, I will tell him everything that happened at the party. I would tell him who showed up, how crazy the party was and how drunk I was at the party. Also, I would try to remember any stories from the party that my best friend would think that is funny and interesting. I think the reason I would tell the story differently is that audience's expectations are different here. My mom probably would expect me being a good student and to behave so i need to tell her what time I got home and who I was with rather than telling her such things that my best friend expects to hear from me like what he has missed out from the party and how crazy the party was.
