         All the essays here seem to have some sort of personal touch that is easily definable.  A part of the author is invested into the work, giving it an extra sense of meaning, no matter what the context is.  For example the first essay showed what true power jealousy can have over us.  What strange things it makes you do under all the right, or wrong, circumstances.  The second was easy.  It's the author's love of dance that allows the entire experience to be laid out with incredible detail.  It makes for a story where you feel as if you were right on stage beside all those other birds, looking out over the crowds of parents hoping you don't forget the steps.  With sports on the other hand, sometimes it takes more for me to get in the shoes of the author.  But I know what he's trying to accomplish here.  He's trying to portray the feeling of anxiety, nervousness, and natural high that you get from having "your" team somehow overcome some impeding doom and win the game.  How many movies like that have you seen?  And now for the last essay.  Here it's obvious where the story is trying to lead you.  He wants to show you, in ever way he knows, how absolutely amazing this girl is. How she makes the author feel whenever she's around.  That is a genuine feeling that the other is trying to portray in his work.  And although he may not have the method down exactly, we still are very aware of his intentions.  Unfortunately in this case it doesn't make for a very interesting read.
