Skunk Dreams

As I began this story, my expectations were very high. I found the first page completely fascinating. It was simple, yet intriguing. I was eager to continue reading, believe that the rest of this story would be in a similar format. I wish I could say that the rest of the story kept me equally satisfied. As soon as the opening story ended, the article began to go down hill. I felt like the author was trying too hard to be this deep philosopher. At first I thought that maybe it was all just going right over my head, but upon rereading the essay, I decided that there was an extreme amount of excess description, metaphors, and abstract point of views for the article to be understandable. I got that it was all looking at life as beautiful as a dream. I understood that the author was reflecting upon the dislike of a new, dreamlike landscape until she learned to love its beauty. It is my opinion that the author needed to sheer down the amount of excess in this article to make it more readable. Even through this all, the concept of dreams is a very interesting one, and I really wish the article could have been more enjoyable to me.
