For the first exercise of the unit, your task is to make the Harold Pinter Nobel prize-giving speech informal. Re-write the speech using
the casual register of Sarah Palin and see if you can manage to
convey the same ideas in a different way. You may well find that
some of the more complex ideas become lost, but sometimes the
challenge with speech writing is precisely this: conveying complex
ideas in a style that your whole audience will be able to understand
and relate to.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
