I was sick for class. heres the story we were supposed to turn in

The dunes. The ocean. The thrill. Sunbathe till the sunset. The waves of sand and water. Cool breeze on your neck. Rush of blood through your head. Surfing, sailing, blue all around. Relaxing, chilling, popping Coronna on the beach, that's the sound. Hot bikinis, beautiful horizon. Good company, vibrant blues, awesome views. Footprints in the sand. Living the life. Couldn't ask for a more perfect place to be. Anytime, in the life without responsibility. taking in the rays, the thrill, the pleasure, to enjoy natures beauty. As the mountains of waves pound the sand, remember, tomorrows current may be more fierce than todays.

Evenson writes very well. I like the part on pg. 56 where it talks about Rauch’s brother. It is describing what sort of person he is and isn’t. Saying he is the nervous type, but not the depressive type. He can be the psychotic type, but is not the suicidal type. All of these descriptions have imagery, and without actually saying what Evenson wants to say, it is being said.

Field’s writing is good, but definitely different from Evenson. Field writes everything in stanzas. Each stanza can stand alone, but read continuously, like it’s meant to be read, makes the story come alive. Field is very concentrated on detail. Imagery in every stanza. No word is overlooked. They all show some feeling.

3 points of interest for City Eclogue

This is a crazy book. I feel like I’m reading a bunch of short stories, but they’re all poems. They word spacing and punctuation is pretty different than I’ve ever seen. In “Sit In What City We’re in” the spacing is all messed up, but if you read differently a few times, it kind of has some significance to it. It makes you slow your voice down, and say words so they mean more. It tells a good story about hardships the people went through living in that city.

I liked “Engine” because it tells of a memory that was made from opening an old trunk, or at least that’s how I perceived it. The spacing is also messed up, but what in this book isn’t. It looks like the author liked the tab key on this one because all the spacing is either one or two tabs.

The one “Point” on pg. 111 caught my eye. I don’t know if I really understand it, but it’s pretty straight forward I think. There is any punctuation except for the last sentence. I like this one because I think it’s saying people are put on this earth, and their fait is not determined. And that is what makes living so interesting. And no one knows what will happen in the eternity, or when we die. Again, this book is pretty crazy.
