I found this piece beyond amusing. It kind of follows the authors stream of consciousness, allowing you to roam within her head among her random thoughts, only applying them to the true meaning and moral she ultimately intends to show you at the very end. The piece jumps around constantly and never really dwells on one topic for more than a moment or two, so though it takes a lot of concentration to follow the writer of this piece, you're never really left bored and you're always entertained by one of the writer's crazy ideas.
One of the quotes that I found really intruiging were:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
"In three years there
have been three things: you lost your virginity; your parents got divorced; and your brother
came home from a forest 10 miles from the Cambodian border with only half a thigh, a
permanent smirk nestled into one corner of his mouth."

This part of Moore's piece really exhibits her style of writing, and shows us about what it means to her to be a good writer. It doesn't mean using fancy vocabulary and professional diction, or having a reputation for writing about a popular topic that people enjoy. Being a good writer means you're able to speak your mind and express you ideas, showing you're unafraid to present your true self. You can be as crazy as you want with your ideas and go anywhere you want with them- everyone does, but not everyone's brave enough to show it.
