This is an excerpt from an essay I wrote for my finals this week. It is the intro and I really liked the poetic sound to it. I just thought that I would share it.
A story is a platform for perspective. What you choose to see and how you choose to interpret it is all that you will take from it. Perspective is what decides whether you see a Major League batter with sunscreen on his face or “a kid with bird shit on his face” (Osenbaum 160).
Well, now that I think about it, I guess bird shit isn’t very poetic.
