Favorite Reading

My favorite reading that we've done is actually the reading that I had to present to class "A First American Views His Land". My overall impression of it was good from the start. The author was able to draw you in with the extreme imagery that he was using and keep you drawn in with the points that he was making that coincided with the stories he told. The accompaniment of the poems was a nice touch too because I was like showing a day in the life of an American Indian which the author has in his blood. Overall the piece was just very powerful because he made you feel the emotions to make you want to change something then he subtly, then less subtly, brought in his cause that he was trying to help. It was a nice strategy for the author to use and it made the piece very powerful.
