I can’t think of a more clever title. I’m sorry to disappoint.
I enjoyed reading both of the essay’s from the Short Prose Reader. I liked the descriptive aspect of Harry Crews piece ” Why I live Where I Live”. The words he chooses to use to describe the landscape of the house where he lives, brought to picture to life. For example, ”…enormous bull bay tree through a thin stand of reeds into a tiny creek, the banks of which are thick with the greenest fern god ever made.” Once again I enjoyed reading the piece. It made me wanna go to Florida!
I’ve always liked reading works by Elie Wiesel. His words are aways profound, and tend to evoke a range of emotions from me. While reading “The America I Love” I felt an imnence amount of pride for the country I live in. I thought about how sometimes I take all the freedoms I have for granted. I could not imagine living in a country that would not allow me all the rights I have now, freedom is all I have ever known, and I know that makes me a blessed individual.
Like in our other cause and effect readings, I like how subtle the cause and effect aspect is.
