I read the comments before reading the piece, as one tends to do, and I started out on the side of the narrator being pretentious, if that's the best word to describe enthdegree's feelings on the conveyed tone. Interestingly, however, I am now most the way through the piece and am strongly identifying with the narrator, have warm fuzzies, and completely trusting of his or her good intentions.
Maybe I should start reading posted content more often, rather than reading only the comments?
- 0xdeadbeefbabe 10y agoNot that it matters a lot, but isn't this pretentious: > Every spring, around 20 new kids don graduation caps, celebrate their nascent adulthood with a class party in a rye field, and return to the farm the next day to plant corn or milk holsteins. It's like milking holsteins and planting corn is inferior to complaining about it. As if the author is the only one smart enough to complain.
