Jourdan Chambers, Critique on Jones

The First Day by Edward P. Jones was a story about how she spent one of her first days at school when she was younger. One thing that immediately stood out to me when reading the story was how much detail was in the story. Not only was Jones very descriptive when describing the environment (such as clothing, how the school looked, etc), she was also very descriptive about her feelings towards everything. For example, she spoke about her neighbors, her mother, and how she felt about her first day of school.

    I agree with the detail with the story the author used. She was very descriptive of her the things she wore that day. I wouldnt be able to remember something to that level.

    I agree because she did mention details that some people might have issues remembering from such a young age.
