"The Last Stop"

I think this story was written very well. He made what he was writing about very vivible to his readers. All the reactions he had to things are the same reactions I owuld have had. When he was in the parlor and would not get any closer to the body because he did not want to see it, I would have been the same way. The description of what the room where they embalmed the bodies smelled like was very realistic and I could imagine exactly what it would be like and smell like. I liked the way he observed the actions of Mr. Deaver al throughout the obseration. I also liked it when he would interview him and see Mr. Deaver's perspective.

"At Ole Miss, the Tailgaters Never Lose"

I really enjoyed reading this story. It was entertaining and related close to home so it kept your attention and made you want to read more. In paragraph ten when they discuss the dress of the people it reminded me of what I actually see at the Auburn tailgates. You see the girls that are trying way to hard to be cute in that hot weather and then you see the one who look like they just rolled out of bed. Also I liked paragraph 21 talking about the red cups. It completely describes how tailgates really are. All you see are red solo cups whether they have water or beer in them. Wherever I am whenever I see these cups it reminds me of tailgating or parties. When the people started yelling the cheer back to the boy in paragraphs 16-17 it reminded me of when we're sitting in the student section at an Auburn football screaming at the top of our lungs back at the cheerleaders. Overall this passage is amusing to read and keeps the reader interested throughout its entirety.
