Found Essay

I wanted to share this found essay by Andrea. I think it's a successful example of the genre. In addition to having several great lines, it seems to move toward some kind of point, i.e. it doesn't maintain the same frequency, but builds over its course toward a conclusion. I feel like it achieves a real sadness similar to Stillmann's example that we read in class, but it's also unique. What do you think?



Honesty ,Betrayal ,Relationship/Love :A found Essay from Instagram
by Andrea Hayman

Hard to swallow pill: not every person you care about is going to care about you in the same length, your capacity to love and care isn’t for every one of them. It’s all fun & game until I’m unreachable , unavailable and uninterested  .How sad is it to suddenly stop talking to the person you thought you’d marry. Crazy how the strongest bonds break over the weakest shit. A man can’t handle the same hurt he gives a woman. Don’t play the victim when you created the problem in the first place. Never beat up on yourself for what may seems like a mistake. It was necessary for you to walk that path to learn those lessons.
 If we are in a relationship, I’m gone let you have fun; live your life to the fullest. Just don’t do anything to disrespect me or anything  you wouldn’t want me doing. When I say, “I love you,” I don’t say it out of habit. I say it to remind you that you’re the best thing that ever happened to me .Somebody said, “ I can’t wait to live , I just been surviving” and I felt that whole heartedly. I need someone in my life who cares about me as much as I care about them because I’m so tired of always being the one who cares more. I be so busy trying to make everybody Else happy , That I Don’t even be Realizing I ain’t even happy[ .

  1. In my opinion, I feel like this does maintain the same frequency more in the first paragraph but overall the message is clear. It revolves around the topic of knowing your worth, caring more than the next person and being unhappy. All of the lines compliment each other which makes it a successful example.

  2. In my opinion I think that this essay has a clear message. She manages to explain her feelings in a very detailed way, not only meaningful to her but also in general. Sometimes it is necessary that you stumble along the way so that you learn from your mistakes. I liked the part where she focuses. When I say, "I love you," I don't say it out of habit. I say it to remind you that you're the best thing that ever happened to me.¨ I liked this part a lot since the word I love you today has lost its meaning since many say I love you but really the most important thing when someone designed you, I love you from the heart, not just as habit. In the conclusion, I found it interesting because sometimes one worries about making other people happy, forgetting firstly about oneself being happy. Sometimes you look for respect, love, trust in your partner and the only thing he does is betray you, that's why you care about yourself and feel happy with the right person. It is a strong essay good job!!!
