'Hooked'

     Where to start... I guess it would be logical to start with the title. 'Hooked' has been, by far, my favorite sample essay that i've read. The title at first glance seemed just like a regular title given to a paper. Although after reading the essay, the title was clever and seemed to fit not only the assignment purpose, but it fit well with the theme of the paper too.
     One part of the essay that I loved were the descriptive words used. Each brand name, each lake, and even each color used to describe parts within the paper made it memorable. Another part of the essay that caught my eye was the flow of it. It focused on the events leading up to the 'phase' for about half of the essay which I think made the actual hobby a bigger and more important hobby. Finally, I liked that the author included almost a tragedy at the end of the essay. It made it believeable and more credible than it already was and also gave it that 'one of a kind' feel.
