Creative/Literary Nonfiction

For this assignment i chose: "Simple" by Kerrie Kemperman.

 I cant relate to any of the other stories i read but this one. The sentence: "The days seemed infinite, the car rides long and tortuous, summers stretched on and on like the hums of cicadas". reminds me of the summers i used to spend as a child and how they felt long and torturous instead of fun and exciting. i also enjoyed the honest description of the farms and houses given by the narrators father.
