"In the shadow of the image"

I really liked reading Stuart and Elizabeth Ewen's "In the shadow of the Image" for various reasons. At first I was very confused as to where the text was going and why both author's were just rambling on about random insidents in life. But during the last four paragraphs in the essay they explain in clear detail why they described these events and for what purpose. I liked how both author's said that when we view these "facts of our lives" separately they are soon forgotten. If they are viewed together like in this essay they show all different types of things (hope and dispair, human activity). All these personal stories come together as one to show how different people percieve things in different ways. This was a very short and to the point essay that I enjoyed.
