As I read Anne Dillard’s, An American Childhood, I can see and related to the fact that we do not take notice of the way a small event marks our life just as much the memories that we can still recall, but we later can see the way it has “written our future”, that is the tiniest thing that trigger a chain reaction and that this affects us later on. In the first paragraph, Anne explains the way football makes a part of her life, the emotions that it creates and the way it has changed her, it also introduces the traits of her character, an energetic, tomboy girl. Overall I enjoyed the essay and I liked the fact that is easy to read and relatable.
