I think out of all the essays we've been assigned so far I like this one the most. I found it much easier to read the essays, and much easier to relate to them. I like how unlike the other two we aren't observing something or someone, but just taking a look at a moment in our own personal life. In Innocence is Bliss I found it really easy to relate to the writer. The way she describes the "uninspired teachers" at Woodside Middle School pretty easy for me to relate to, being a former student there. I knew exactly the way she was feeling when she finally realized she was out of that place. Overall I thought this essay was good, but kind of cliche. It just seems very common for a high school girl to write about her first real boyfriend, and everything that comes along with it. I mean come on, 8th grade romances aren't all that serious...
Both Hooked and Once More to the Lake were good examples of phases as well, however I did not relate as well to these. I mean sure I've gone fishing a few times, but it's not something I could consider myself to be interested in. In Hooked YZF93 did a good job at setting a mood of being calm, content, and peaceful.
I'm actually looking forward to writing this next essay, although I'm finding it difficult to pick just one of my many phases.
