How to Become a Writer

For this first reading at the very beginning I thought it was very confusing to understand who the narrator was talking about. I really disliked the fast that the whole story was in Second Person. The whole time it was “you did this” or “you did that” type of writing. It felt like it was talking about what I did, but I didn't relate to this story because who the narrator is talking about is very different of who I am. Like my major is Dentistry instead of child psychology or writing or even law. As I kept reading more and more of the story I just got really annoyed by the big use of second person. It’s overly used to the point where it gets very confusing on what the author is really talking about. Towards the end the story the author basically explains that the student he’s talking about is a confused college student that doesn't know what to do. If to either be a child psychologist or a writer or even a lawyer; this student is beyond confused. Overall I really didn't like this story it was very confusing reading it, and the writing level doesn't seem very intellectual. Hopefully the rest of our stories will be better than this one.
