Autopsy Report

This piece was beautifully written however hard for me to read. Because the language was so descriptive and graphic I was kind of turned off by the approach because for one she was talking about dead bodies and second I have a weak stomach so hearing these descriptive words about dead bodies being cut open and organs being taken out was very hard to get through.

With that being said, the way she wrote this piece was lyrical and poetic and wrote it in a way that made the scene seem like a beautiful disaster. Describing her laughter could very well indicate her nervousness and an interesting way to react to something so dramatic.

It is kind of amazing how a piece is stuctered and the word choice within the story can make such a big difference in reading it. If this piece hadn't been written the way it was and just was wrote like a "normal' story was I don't think I would have been able to get through it. There is something about "pretty" language that affects the readers and can read something maybe they wouldn't have before. 

What she did so great was paint a picture in the readers mind to show what was going on that we might understand what she was seeing when writing this piece. As much as I didn't want to I say the bodies laying there, being cut open and pieces of their body taken out.
