"Popular Mechanics" by Raymond Carver
I really enjoyed this piece. It was short and to the point, and that is what I like. There was very little diologue throughout the whole story, and also it did not contain a beginning that informed the audience very much. Because it began on an impulse, I felt like I was in the middle of the situation, immediately analyzing and trying to figure out the situations of the characters. I believe that it is good sometimes to have some mystery within a story-- it helps add suspense and interest.
STC Intro
I really enjoyed writing in class about Hans the chicken farmer in first, second, and third voice. To be honest, before this activity, I had never purposefully tried to write in the second voice, and I probably will never attempt it again. This activity help me realize my writing strengths and weaknesses. Hopefully, I will be more open to trying the second voice in the future, but it does not seem like the type of writing that fits my writing style. I really enjoyed the Introduction to Steering the Craft and I am excited to read the rest of the book in the future.
