The first thing I noticed when I read my first essay was that it was easy to read. I did not feel board or uninterested. Each essay flowed nicely, all were loaded with detail which gave the piece voice and character. My favorite essay was "High Dive". Ringler said in "My artistic journey with HIGH DIVE" that she read this to a group of people and nearly broke down. She nearly broke down because her father died in a car crash. I happened to read "HIGH DIVE" After I read "My Artistic Journey with HIGH DIVE." Me knowing that her father died untimely and then reading an affectionate essay about her father added some weight to the piece. After reading the biography and reading "HIGH DIVE." I would say not knowing ringlet as a person i would guess that she is a driven individual. At the end of "HIGH DIVE" she says "This had been my first high dive, but it was not going to be my last." connecting that to the things she has done i life according to the biography like taking care of Regan after he was shot in 1981, she is published in the Times Union and New York Times and not to mention she opened her own book store.
Our art speaker was interesting. We only had him for about 55 minutes but I thought he was a valuable speaker. a little depressing at times but a good speaker and he provided helpful tips on writing. 1/12 speaker (****)
