    Response Reading: An American Childhood My first reaction to An American childhood was a lot like my own memories when I was a child. I have vivid memories of throwing snowballs at cars driving by‚ playing football‚ and hanging with the boys. I related to Annie Dillard more than any author I have ever read. Dillard was not the average type of girl growing up and neither was I. I’m sure though that this relates to many children when growing up and not having a care in the world. She was much more

    The writer‚ Phillis Wheatley‚ uses many descriptive details about the natural world in her poem. She compares the sun setting and the new evening with many rural details. For example‚ in line two‚ she says: "The pealing thunder shook the heav’nly plain;" She is referring to the empty plains of a rural area. I also wondered how the poem would sound if she chose to praise the evening using details of an urban setting. You could easily use urban setting details as well as using rural setting details
