Oh Boy, Up Simba Was Exhausting!

This article was obviously a lengthy one since I am a curious student and decided to look ahead at what I had to read, which was probably a bad idea since I went in knowing that this was going to take a looooooooooong time. Even before I read, I knew that descriptions were going to be over the top, but I did not realize that the author's tone and style would be somewhat entertaining. He used a sarcastic tone that connected to me personally since I can be VERY sarcastic that it may seem like I am being slightly rude, but like Wallace, it's just my style. His word choice fit along with our generation and I honestly thought that a person our age was writing this to inform the younger voters. Descriptions such as Mike Murphey looking like a "Giant Dwarf" and "Hell could easily be a chain hotel" made me giggle and helped keep me interested.

This helped keep my attention through the enormously long sentences that seemed like paragraphs! I was always taught to avoid that, but he uses those quite frequently. I would put up an example, but that would look like I'm adding fluff and that's bad, yet very tempting (:]). Reading those sentences and observations lost my interest and it often confused me. There was just so much! Some seemed pointless like the descriptions of the phones and power cords. The names of the vans made me laugh and the new guy bathroom incident made me laugh which made me think how politics is B*S*, but that's just how it is! Yes, the details added to the ethos because it is all truthful, but the long sentence structure made me think somewhat less of him for some reason. It really bothered me. When it came to McCain, it informed me a good amount and I learned a lot about the campaign and the long hours that are put in. The length of the article reflected the long hours of a campaign. It also made me question what to believe anymore, but I guess that's how politics is.
