Seeing

Reading this essay reminded me of being a child. They way that Dillard wrote was somewhat scatter brained. Dillard writes on somewhat of a philosophical way, which is very different then what I am used to reading. I enjoy her writing style though, using the description of nature to get her point across. Though the whole thing was a little long and dragged out, it got its meaning across. It was hard to read at first, the way she writes is hard to get used to, but overall i like it, it was well written and i believe she reached out to hear audience. She appeals to the child within us all. Dillard points out that we take advantage of our ability to see for the most part, that we look past the little things in order to see the big picture. I cannot be completely sure of the writers thesis, but I think that it might be, "the lover can see, and the knowledgeable". Dillard is saying that the people who pay attention, like lovers, really see the whole picture for what it's worth including the little things.
