One of the things we do besides exercises for my non-fiction class is read essays. When I come accross one I will post it here. If I can find a copy on the internet I will post a link too. Here is one that I absolutely loved.
Gretel Ehrlich’s About Men is the story of the true cowboy and why he acts the way he does. The one thing I really like about it is the fact that it reminds me of my grandpa in some ways. Other than that it gives a more correct view of a type of people than what you can typically find elsewhere.
