Slide, Roll, Slam
After reading Slide, Roll, Slam, I was really impressed with all the descriptive details used; not only of the building, but of the people and what they were wearing. I could picture what the bowling alley looked like in my head. I also liked how the writer's feelings and thoughts were incorporated into the piece. I was surprised to learn how there were many other types of bowling leagues besides women and men. Theres kids under 5 years old and over five years old, couples leagues, handicap and special needs leagues. I liked how there was also background information, like how there were hourly specials for kids on school vacation, what foods and snacks were on the menu, and even what was on the television at the time. Also, the team names were really funny! I was slightly concerned whether this essay would be interesting or not because it was about a bowling alley, but I found myself able to picture myself in the alley! Overall, I enjoyed reading this essay.
