Analysis Of The Hudson River School By David Searcy

Annie, I must say, it was such a pleasure reading your essay, “Living Like Weasels”. Your curiosity about the way we live is so brilliant that my interest about your thoughts on our outlined lifestyle has piqued me since reading. I have read several essays in the past month about animals and violence that were all delicately written and filled with meaningful messages, but yours has stood out to me the most because I feel as it was written clearly and precisely. Your message about living as we should was explicitly conveyed, yet it held so much significance concerning the way humans live versus the life of a weasel.

Even if other authors tried to connect ideas as broad as these, I believe that their perceptions wouldn’t have been communicated as thoroughly as yours. Unfortunately, subjects as conclusive as these seem to be hard to connect to a reader. I have always received comments on my essays throughout high school and college about why I have connected one topic to another, what I really am trying to convey, or questions about finding meaning in an idea that I haven’t fully communicated. It makes sense to me, but not always to my audience, which brings me to another question.
