When I began to look around the website, I couldn’t find anything that sparked my interest. Every article consisted of a sentence memory that didn’t interest me at all. I then clicked on the random page link and waited for a result. A great story of the Norcross’ Swimming pool popped up. The story was a girl’s memory of a trip to this pool. What I liked most about this piece is the description. The first paragraph vividly described what the pool looked and smelled like. It drew me in to keep reading. Also, I liked how I could relate to the story. It goes to tell the readers that a bunch of friends are walking the length of the pool trying to look all cute for the older lifeguard that in watching the deep end. I can picture me and my friends doing that when we were younger. Then all the girls fall right in to the pool. The author says she falls in and couldn’t stop choking so; the life guard had to save her. The way she describes this scene is hilarious, it is like I’m sitting on the sidelines watching it. That brings me to the last point of why I chose it is that it is an upbeat memory. She remembers the good times that happened at the pool. It has to do with the teachings in class because of the description she uses; it is by no means dull. Also, it is a memory and that is what we have been talking about in our class. It made me think more about my childhood and foolish things I used to do with my group of friends, but instead of the pool, it would be our downtown Papa Gino’s.
