Of the three essays assigned for this week's assignment, my favorite was 'Painting with Neil'. Don't get me wrong, the other two were well written but this one was different. 'Faja' wasn't necessarily a depressing essay, but more somber. However, the writer did manage to change tones to make it more interesting. He/she talked about how he/she felt bad for his/her father because he seemed 'lost' on the days he didn't have anything to do but then went into how his/her father loved them taking the tone from somber to loving. ' To me, 'A Practiced Grace' seemed to miss elements of vitality or life but I spend the majority of my free time in a coffee shop and I completely understand the point of their essay.
'Painting with Neil' was still my favorite though. The tone of the essay was quite hard to pinpoint though. It focuses on Neil's negativity and agitation but the essay isn't negative, it's almost ironic and humorous. I give props to the writer because i've tried to write an essay like that and it's hard to do. Also, I know Neil and I believe the write executed his personality perfectly.
