living up to these won't be easy

I feel like I have a lot to live up to if my feature is to be anything close to "You Have Thousands of Angels Around You" or "Specialist Town Takes His Case to Washington." While the third reading was interesting, it did not draw me in like these two did. Williams constructed "You Have Thousands of Angels Around You" in a way that caused my eyes to remain glued to the text. While I can't even imagine the pain and suffering Cynthia endured, the detailed descriptions that Williams includes are successful in transporting you into at least the vicinity of Cynthia's life - not quite into her shoes, but i doubt Cynthia would wish that upon anyone. This story is so touching to me because this girl is close to my age and has been through more than I ever will or wish to go through. Stories such as these never fail to send me on a guilt trip. I read this laying in my queen size bed that sits in my cute green house which sits about .5 miles from a private University that likes to dig deep into my parent's pockets. There is not much I can complain about. Do I? Well, of course. There is telling a story and then there is bringing a story to life. Williams definitely accomplished the latter.

"Specialist Town Takes His Case to Washington" was also very successful a drawing me in. It is disgusting to me that anyone would treat a soldier in such a way. These men and women volunteer to put there lives at stake and then have it thrown right back in their face. What a disgrace to the American name. Both of these features are good representatives of a feature's purpose. They are controversial and heart-wrenching, while using cold-hard facts as their background. I can only hope someone won't be able to put my feature down.
