What are some differences between hearing a story from a person who experienced the event and hearing it from someone else? use examples from your own life in your response.

Well this is a question that you should answer, but I guess I'll share mine lol. 
It is different hearing a story from a person that had experience it and someone else telling it. 
My science teacher's grandma is a holocaust survivor. She told us when and how she escaped a camp and she had artifacts. Her tone of voice changed depending if the parts were emotional or not. So many details she explained during every part. Very sad and blessful that she escaped. 
However, when my science teacher said it, it sounded different. Not many details and since she really wasn't there; we can imagine if she was there but for me it doesn't work that way lol.
