Faja

I felt like out of the three essays that "Faja" was the most interesting. Personally "Painting with Neil" and "A Practiced Grace" were sort of boring. "Faja" had very good description and it just made his day come to life. It really describes how a parent has so many responsibilities and when they find a day when there is nothing more to do, they are almost lost. I could really picture the Father sitting on the porch looking outside drinking. My favorite line from the essay was, "It is as if he is not tired enough to sleep so, like a computer in hibernation, he intently waits for the next command." This is an extremely well written analogy that really forms a picture in your head of what the father was like.
