Death By Buffet
Harley’s article was the best read I’ve had all semester. It felt like I was reading a novel. His use of language to paint a picture of his surroundings was beautifully detailed, expressive and colourful. It made his story come alive. I felt like I was almost there, like I could almost hear the sounds of the city and smell the pungent smells. I think I even wrinkled my nose at times like I was experiencing it first hand for myself. Being from India myself, I felt like I was back home and could comfortably relate to the references he made about the country’s culture and people. But for those who aren’t Indian or haven’t been to India, I think this article would definitely still take you there momentarily. Overall, an excellent and humorous narrative. It kept me chuckling from beginning to end. I couldn’t put it down and disappointed when it ended. I would recommend it as a light autobiographical read.
