This piece felt similar to everything else we've read this semester, yet somehow completely different. It had the observations about everyday life, yet they weren't laid out perfectly clear like they are in the more scholarly articles. The evidence is there, but it is less obvious and feels more real than previous works. The audience arrives at the intended conclusion, but it takes more thought on their part.
I think that this style of writing about the everyday is easier to read because it is easier to understand as a human being. The conclusions reached from this type of writing are more rewarding, in my mind, because it requires some effort from the reader and not just a theory being shoved down their throat.
I completely agree with your first statement that this is similar to everything else we've read this semester, yet completely different. However, I personally found this style of writing more difficult to read. I think that this is just because it is so different than anything I have read.
