Cut-Up Peer-Analysis

The speaker of this piece is a teenage boy ending his junior year of high school. He is frustrated with himself because he now realizes that his nervousness has placed significant limits on his life so far. The boy is at his favorite ski resort and when he makes his way off the ski lift, preparing himself for the descent down the mountain, he comes to this realization. The boy was pressured into snowboarding down the high mountain, something he was confident about until this very moment. At this moment he confronts himself reflecting on the set backs he has dealt with in the past. I feel as though we are supposed to sympathize with the speaker as there seems to be a personal motive. The style of language used proves the young man to be uncomfortable and angry at himself. He is almost at a lost of words as the boy studders throughout the piece. There is a monologue structure as the text is informal but without this style the text would not be as affective.

The relationship towards the audience is closed as the speaking is actually what the young man is thinking to himself. I find the the mode of aesthetic communication to be both dramatic and lyric. There are times where the boy seems to be yelling and questioning himself. Though throughout the piece, sentence structures are limited to short phrases. This represents the difficulty the boy has with coming to terms and the yearning to change. There are uses of metaphors such as "you're the boulevard" and "you are time." By the end of the piece the boy refers to the "sweaty," but comes to understand that this state of mind can be temporary. That he indeed has the power within himself to change and he only needed to recognize it.
