Calvino's Essay: Question 8

What was my reaction to Calvino's essay? I didn't really hate it with a deep never ending passion or anything, but I definitely did not love it with that same passion. Parts of it really got my attention and made me think about things I've never really thought about. The fact I was reading it last minute, and had to read it for English kinda put a downer on the situation. Anytime I am made to read something, I generally hate it.... That's my fault that it was last minute, yeah, but still it was like a huge rain could of procrastination was looming of me the entire time, taunting me with that lemonade shake-up I could be getting or the fair, that I could be at but have homework to do. In the summer.... bleh. So over all my reaction was not really the best one. It once again was not horrible or anything, just I'm sure other people have found more pleasure than myself in reading Calvino's essay. I'm not stupid, so I realize this reaction is completely emotional. The fact that I am letting the time, circumstances, and environment in which I am reading the essay effect my opinion of it bears absolutely no logic whatsoever. I realize that.
