essay responses

I think that these three essays were very interesting. i particualry like the test pilot and Ali in Havana. I liked how the author of The Test Pilot campared the air shows of the pilot to different artists. He constantly talked of how the shows were works of art. I also liked how he showed how this art was difernet from normal art in that the artist can never see his own work, even though it is considered by many a masterpiece. For some odd reason I found that interesting. I liked the quirkiness of Ali in Havana. i liked all of the odd little things that the narrartor describes Ali doing while in the presence of a political giant. Silent Dancing, or at least i think it was Silent Dancing (I had no page numbers to go off of) i found differnent from the other two essays. the other two recounted an event or series of events, while Silent Dancing was more of a commentary on a piece of literature applied to an event in the authors past.
