Jeremy Response

   I must say, I love Jeremy's writing. From the beginning, he has always written in a way that bounces, flows, and moves. For example, in his first essay on Elbow and Bartholomae, I love his opening paragraph. He is able to paint a picture with words. "Andre had not uttered a word in class, completely befuddled by the discussion transpiring in the classroom, these flippantly used words were being tossed around the room carelessly like stones into a stream, but many were unintentionally piercing his heart. " I really like how he engages a reader by describing visuals. He does this again in his final essay, when he is talking about being a child. I can practically picture him telling his classmates that he has had malaria more times than he has gone to Pizza Hut!

    I believe that Jeremy is a very mature writer. It can be due to the fact that he probably has a whole different perspective on the world based on his childhood. I really enjoy reading his writing, because he does use bigger words, but he uses them in ways that will only help the reader develop. I believe that they will help the reader develop, because his writing inspires curiosity about the world. He is very unique, and a strong writer.
