In-Class Writing 9/20

Pros:
  1.   One thing that worked for me was the way the author, Langston Hughes, painted a vivid picture on how the church was swept with glee after they saw him stand up, thinking that he had truly seen god when in reality he didn't.
  2. I like the way he confuses you in the beginning by saying "I was saved from sin when I was going on thirteen. But not really saved. It happened like this", then he begins to elaborate. It automatically drew me in.
  3. Depicts people well.
Cons:

     1. The setting of the story isn't appealing to me.
  
    

Did this story keep you engaged?
A: No, it didn't. I lost interest very quickly.

What was its purpose?
A: To share his story of how he was "saved" but not really due to his lie when he was younger.
