Jack Grapes, Artist, Writer, Author, Instructor: Can we?
Film Courage: Yes, can you give me an assignment and correct me?

Jack: It’s hard to say it. It’s about writing but I’ve given you the four voices, right? Plus writing like you talk so you’ve got writing like you talk, you’ve got that high voice that is a lot of chit-chat stuff Boy, you won’t believe what happened and then man knock me for a feather but I was…then there is the fancy voice (poetic), lots of images metaphors.
