Lay of The Land

The lay of the land example (click on reading from 2/17) from this weeks reading was a very helpful example of what we should be thinking about writing for our second essay for this class. The descriptive details of the bowling alley helped me too really imagine exactly what it was like and it made me feel like I was there. The details went as far as describing what the women behind the counter was wearing and even how many lanes were in the bowling alley. This essay really did and exceptional job of describing describe every inch of the site, from the age and gender of the people playing,the food they served at the counter to who walked in and out of the bowling throughout the night. After reading this essay I was able to get a very good understanding of what direction I need to head in when I begin to write essay 2.
