What i really enjoyed about “The First Day” is that it had that sort of reminiscing feel to it. The way the narrator recalls the many things that happened in her life and the way she was very detailed and descriptive really helped to visualize the setting and the people. The way the author wrote “The First Day”, having that first person point of view really helped in showing the way the narrator remembered many details from the way they dressed to the dixie peach hair grease.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
I agree, I was also commenting about the amount the details in the writing. It shows the ready with close to visual perspective of the story while reading and it’s affective.
I agree that she was portrayed as someone very descriptive in the way she detailed every experience. I think it very important to note that for her to remember with such detail means that it was an important event in her life, at least that’s how it’s portrayed.
I agree with Michelle because the narrator took us down memory lane with clear and descriptive details of the characters in her story. We got a glimpse into her life and into her first day of school.
