Muskgrass Chara
I found the sheer amount of detail in this piece to remind me of Ryan's piece. Both of them had an abundance of details that could just put you in the moment, and it really brought them together. There were differences, because Ryan's was in a specific scene, but Moore's focused on a lot of smells that came together in a story that worked out. Moore's piece was very poetic and beautifully written. Both of the pieces flowed like someone's thoughts, but worked in the same way that careful word choice does. And there was an emotional undercurrent that really held them together, and made them work.

I thought the exact same thing! However, I focused in more on the descriptions that related to sense. I really like your observation about the emotional undercurrent, I hadn't picked up on that.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Perhaps my take on Ryan's essay was shortsighted.
