To Any Would-Be Terrorists by Josh Branham.
In this essay I noticed a lot of ranting and convincing of the subject of terrorism. He said, "I am sorry if you did not have a father like that" (Nye 446). He is trying to express to everyone that his father is a great person even at the age of 74. I think if you are trying to make a point that your father is great I understand. What I do not understand is if your father is so great and you are trying to make a point about terrorism why would you try to point out about your father. It sounds more like he is trying to cover his own butt over this. I noticed how short his sentences were throughout most of the essay.
I noticed quite a few spots where it was extremely short sentences. One such place is, "He paints trees and rivers. He gives his paintings away" (446). These sentences are extremely short and hard to follow the content. As I was reading I kept getting lost in what he was actually talking about. With these short sentences you can see that a person is trying to make a point and isn't really worried about weather people listen or not. It's more for general knowledge then anything. I found that people who know what they are going to talk about are usually short winded in talking many times. Through reading this I nearly couldn't follow the story.
This story was so hard to follow because of the seemingly short sentences. I couldn't hardly follow the story partly due to the sentences and also partly due to the defense of him and his father. I am hoping the next story is a little easier reading then this one was.
