This short story did not catch my eye as much as "Mrs. Kelly's Monster" did. It was slow at first and the story behind Zepp was not clear. I was not able to understand what was going on in his journey until the middle of the story. Once I understood what was going on, it was worth the read. The story was sweet because it was about a man looking to get his final wish.
I understood why we read this story for this class. This was a good example of profiling. I learned a lot from reading this profile. The structure is not exactly the way I would go about doing it, but it was very helpful on what is expected to be included in a profile. The dialogue was very helpful in understanding what was going on. This is something that I want to incorporate a lot of in my profile. I think in this story, and in mine, it is very helpful for the reader to learn more about the person because it is in their voice. The dialogue in this short story was very helpful and it was more engaging.
I agree that the structure was not the way I would go about doing it. I also agree that it took me sometime to get involved. I think it was a combination of a topic that did not fully interest me and the way the piece was written. However, I do think that the background information on Zepp and the dialogue was helpful to the piece.
