Marcus, Edson, Kuo,

Ben Marcus
I really enjoyed this reading each section was a very insightful piece and all the sections were and easy read. I really enjoyed reading the second section titled Food. I liked how each subsection that followed brought the subject of food into the writing in some way. Marcus is also a very descriptive writer. It is extremely easy to draw pictures of his writings in my mind as I am reading.

Russell Edson
The thing that I enjoyed most about Edson's writings was that each piece was small but had a much larger meaning beyond the text. I also enjoyed the way that Edson used animals in a very significant way in his writings. He made me think about things on a much different level. He also makes a lot of reference to death, dying and killing in many of his writings. My favorite section in this reading was The Wonders of Nature. I liked it most because it showed that you really cant judge a book by it cover. You can look at a person and their appearance will not give you one clue as to how their life is or even where they come from.

Alex Kuo
Each section in this reading seems as though it can be a collaborative piece of somebodies own personal journal. Each section is a very descriptive story and reading them made me feel as though I was around experiencing and seeing the things that the text described. Kuo is a very descriptive writer just like the other writers in this section. My favorite section in Kuo writing would have to be Past Perfect Tense. I enjoyed reading this section because the ending was so believing and then she finally woke up from her dream. I also like this section because Kuo mentions that some of the things discussed in this section where never suppose to be spoken about again and she ends the section by waking p out of a dream as if she really didn't tell the secrets.
