“Power lines”, the surge of power, is a very good story to read; on the other hand, it's very confusing. For illustration, the first parts of the story were jumbled up, first it talks about basketball then it jumps to him staring at a grasshopper. However, even though it was confusing there was some meaning; to begin with, when the power lines surged it caused some buzzing noise that gave John, the main character, a headache because he was trying to concentrate on playing basketball but the surge cause that do fall of balance. This story helped me assimilate information but i learned one thing, if an individual is not thinking of anything that person is still thinking of something which is nothing.

to people who like challenging their mind.
As said in the first paragraph; John mcNally, the author, is the main character in the story. I would say Ralph, John’s friend, is one of the main characters of the story because he appeared out of nowhere then left after a bijou conversation with John. Power lines will make you deeply think about what's actually going on to get the meaning of it. The story is very chill so i would prefer relaxing outside to help your mind concentrate.
I would give myself a 2 because I most certainly did not understand half of the things in this story. The authors train of thought were everywhere, some were on topic, by some i mean 1 out of all 9 paragraphs. In the 2nd paragraph he talks about his favorite Globetrotters to the surge of the power lines coming in occasionally to him staring at a grasshopper for thirty minutes. He delightfully gave a(n) copious amount of nonsense in one paragraph, and most were randomly out there in the paragraph.
I would love to ask the author, what was the main purpose of this story?
What is Ralph’s purpose in this story? How did the power lines distract your train of thought? I would like to know more about Ralph because he just appeared in the story then left after saying 5 phrases to John. However knowing anything about Ralph won't tell me anything about the “Power Lines” even if he said cousins knew a guy who knows a guy who knows about electricity. On the other hand, the other 2 questions would actually give me more detail about the story especially the first question.
The story was exceedingly confusing due to the jumbled up parts in the story. The majority were parts that changed the main topic of the paragraph. If the author went straight to the point it would of made a large amount of sense.
My group were also confused when they were reading this story. One of them said he probably passed out and started dreaming about a kid named Ralph and and the things in his bag, some said their might be a baby in Ralph’s bag. It made sense that John, the main character, may have passed out because he did say he had a headache due to the buzzing of the power lines when they surged. However, there is always that certain someone that throws everything off and I felt that this certain someone should be me, so I made some mumble jumble up. I told them, he probably started imagining someone was
