The first essay I read was Dissection. After reading the whole essay, I really liked how she named the title Dissection. I also liked the line "I tried to joke so they would like me and fight
hard for my life." since she is a nurse. But would you really have to like someone to fight hard for their life? Not sure if it's supposed to be humorous or I'm just slow. I wonder what goes through her mind when she's working with a patient who might not make it.
The next essay I read was Hanging With Horses. I thought the last line was funny, "Dan stood unfazed." I used to be scared of getting off of horses. I'm surprised the horse didn't freak out a little bit, though (if she was freaking out), because of how horses react with human emotion. If you stay calm, so will they, and vice versa. You just have to assure them.
The essay Letting Go was heartbreaking. After reading this, I really enjoy Mrs. Ringler's writing a lot more (not that I didn't before). It's nice of her to share these rough moments of her life with everyone, like the death of her father. I look forward to having a discussion with her.
