Lay of the Land

This essay is full of great detail. If I had never been into a bowling alley before, this essay could perfectly describe what one looks, sounds, and feels like. The depth that this essay goes into really helps the reader to understand and feel a connection to this place and this story. I love how the people are described in great detail as well so that you can fully picture what they look like.
"The final member of the team is a man who is in his late 20’s or early 30’s and is wearing shorts, despite the cold weather outside, a HHH sleeveless shirt and has a gold hoop in his ear. HHH is a professional wrestler, so it is obvious that this man likes to watch wrestling. Wrestling starts at 8 o’clock on Monday nights, so he will probably be leaving in time to get home and watch." This was a great way to introduce the assumption she had about his possible love for wrestling. In this way, you can see how her assumption is backed up by the evidence that he is wearing a wrestling shirt.
Over all, it is a great description of a bowling alley and what you might find if you go to one during a leauge's bowling night.

Here is a link to what you might see if you went to a league or professional bowling match: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KahTSmW703w&feature=related
