T.J.'s "A Day In The Life"

T.J.'s essay was pure reality and I think it shines through on the page. I enjoyed the details that he used, the white T-shirts and the way that the girl's hand writing looks kind of like his. Then I liked the fact that he did not hide any of the truth. He told us that he checked her out and sized her up. He wasn't afraid to say that he looked at her boobs. These things help us to understand T.J's character more than anything. It helps us to understand that he's just like every other human out there, he checks people out. I felt like this story could go on for ages and I would enjoy reading it. But as the title suggests it just gives us a glimpse of that one day. It still feels like the beginning of a great book on his senior year of high school and how it turned out differently than he originally expected.
