Notaro Essay

I absolutely loved this essay called A Morsel from the Garden of Eden by Notaro. It grabs your attention in the very first sentence, which is pretty amazing to be able to do. The focus is incredile in this story, it really is right to the point, direct story. The charecters depicted seem real, like anyones grandparents, I'm sure, work at doing something for years and not willing or ready to give it up, and at some point in time having to ask their families and friends to help them do certain things that aren't that easy to do anymore. The sentence varity and the voices of the charecters really pop out at you saying "hey here I am read me first". This essay was easy to read, easy to follow, and really easy to relate to. The conclusion was great, a very happy note, that he wasn't hurt, and he paused to add intensity. I would reccomend anyone who likes comedy, suspense to read this very interesting essay.
