I Just Wanna Be Average

I Just Wanna....not be bored when I read this. This essay kind of threw me off. I half expected it to be something about like anorexia or being homeless or family-less..or something. I definately didn't expect what it was about. I found it to be kind of boring. There were a few semi interesting moments but honestly most of it was pretty dull. I had a hard time concentrating on some of it, especially the end for some reason. The few parts that did catch my eye were the parts about people dying. It seemed like I'd start to drift away from the story and then something about being electrocuted or finding a human head would pop up and bring me back for a second. I find it kind of weird that he brings up some kind of death or something about dying about 4 or 5 times in the story. Interesting, but weird.

I did like that he described people's faces as "animated but silent". I underlined that a few times. I also liked that he said "three gray men could have had a go at your hair before you left our street". I thought it was humorous the way he phrased it. Thats pretty much all I've got on this essay though. I have to say it definately wasn't my favorite so far.
