My Favorite Narrative

I enjoyed Mike Roses' "I Just Want to Be Average" the best, from the narratives we read. The piece was interesting to read. A little humorous at times, which I found to be quite charming. I also liked how he wrote details about characters: "There was Ted Richard, a much-touted Little League pitcher. He was chunky and had a baby face and came to Our Lady of Mercy as a seasoned street fighter." It shows how much he remembers about the experience and, in turn, how important the whole thing was to him. He wrote it to try to explain a moral, not make his audience want to be average, as one may assume from the title. Another thing I liked from his piece was his use of dialogue. It made it seem even less formal, in a way. Which, in my opinion, is in no way a bad thing. I would much rather read an informal piece of writing then something resembling an essay. He is a compelling author. I found the narrative rather easy to read. Not because it was a simple story, but because it was pleasant to read. I hope I can write my narrative to be just as pleasurable his.
