Weasel Letter

Dear Annie Dillard
I've just recently heard of you and of your work. This one, living like a weasel, has gotten my attention. Due to this, I thought I'd write to you. My name is Jonathan Lopez and I'm a senior in high school. I've been intrigued by the story of the weasel. Personally, at least I don't think I've seen a weasel. The way you've described the experiences makes me wonder if I have ever had an experience with a weasel or any other living thing. The way you said that they met like lovers or enemies, it was such a good way to show the strong emotion. Another thing I really liked was how intense it felt when you encountered the weasel. It made me feel as though I could really see the interaction and feel the stare that could split a skull. I feel like this paragraph is my favorite because it feels like this could be about two long lost lovers that finally get to see each other and how strong the feelings and …show more content…
It was things like that that really made me care about the work, it didn't feel like a story about a weasel, but something more. Recently I've felt like that and it was nice for someone to be able to put it into words, even if I am linked up to a story about a weasel. I really enjoyed the first paragraph about the weasel at the beginning, it really shows the ferocity of the weasel. You really did a good job at making me feel like weasels are built differently, they really are tough. It felt like a good contrast, making me feel a sense of healthy fear and respect for the weasel, to make me feel like it's also calm and noble. The weasel seems to be just as enthralled with you as you are to him, so sorry the trance was broken but at least you got to experience it. The explicit and thought provoking vocabulary
