The author has a very nice way of giving tips and advice to thew readers. He gives tips and advice in a funny way and also he uses his own personal experience. I like the fact that he makes fun of people about the mosquito repellent that you buy at the store and says that its less effective than natural oils that you can buy at the pharmacy. There isn’t much that puzzles me about the story since its mainly tips about camping. Something that reminded me was the fact that when i go camping i also go to the store and buy the expensive insect propellant and it ends up not being very effective. This text relates to other texts that i have read by being able to use satire to bring up important issues. This can be seen in the work “Animal Farm” by George Orwell. This work of literature was very informative to me since i am an active camper, and it address common issues i often have to deal with.
