Living Like Weasels: Reading Response # 2

This story by Annie Dillard was ok for me. I didn't dislike it but it didn't really spark my interest. I mean I liked the moral of the story that you should live your life by necessity like the animal especially the weasel like when Dillard says

"We could, you know. We can live any way we want. People take vows of proverty, chastity, and obedience- even of silence-by choice. The thing is to stalk your certain calling in a certain skilled and supple way, to locate the most tender and live tack" anything; a weasel lives as he's meant to, yielding at every moment to the perfect freedom of single necessity." (pg. 97)

I like the moral because all people should apply this to their lives but the whole description of the weasel was kind of boring to me. I didn't like that she wanted to fight with the weasel, I mean it made since that she could be animalistic like the weasel, but I didn't like the whole looking at the weasel scene. I liked the idea of it but not reading it. Wierd? I know.

The form of the writing was good. It was straight forward and got across what it needed and wanted to get across but not too interesting. Maybe it had too much nature for me. Overall, the essay was so -so.
