After watching this documentary my first reaction was wow. I want to be able to write like this. Her essay was absolutely incredible. The video only enhanced the essay but the essay can actually stand on its own. I watched it again but only listened to it the second time and her words were still just as powerful. Her diction and analogy to Coney Island as being just a figure of her imagination was really unexpected but a welcome surprise.
This essay had the ability of making me feel like i was at coney island which ive never been to before but i felt as if i knew exactly where she was taking me. The ability for someone to do that with only words is an exceptional talent and one that i wished i possessed.
I loved your honesty. It is not easy for a writer to admit that a peer is superior to you. Her words were powerful, and I had the same experience watching the video as you did.
