As I was reading The Infinite Suggestiveness of Common Things I thought, Hey, this is how I write! The way Patrick Madden explained quotidian gave me a new insight on how I go about putting words on paper. I think about what happened that day, and I write what happened; if nothing happened then I just write what I'm thinking about. Sometimes I read some of my papers and think, Man, I'm glad that I can write because it would be almost impossible to explain something like this by talking. I really like how he explained that kids see the world through different eyes than the rest of us. It reminded me of just a couple of days ago when I was doing my chores at home, and my little sister walked up to me and said, "Hey Jowid! Tum and wook at dis!" So I followed her and she took a little gun off the floor that she made out of blocks. "Wook at dis!" she said. I said, "Wowww, that's amazing," forcing enthusiasm into my voice. Then, just barely as I was writing this blog, my little sister came up to me and said, "Jowid, wook! In duh titchen. Duh wight finawee werts." So I walked into the kitchen and saw that the light did finally work. I said, "Woah... that's so cool!" After reading Madden's essay and having my little sister show me the world in her eyes, I started thinking about the way I look at the world; I realize that I need to do a lot better.
