I enjoyed reading this story because I used to talk to people and also write like the author did with intense detail, except for me it would be grammatically incorrect in the eyes of "error" by Williams. I feel like "people watching" can almost be a hobby for some people, however I do mean that as you just watch people without having any desire of poking fun or scrutinizing them. I know for a fact in Georgia sometimes when I go to the mall with family or friends we will eat in the food court but in the middle where you see everyone pass by while eating. We essentially will talk about those people while eating but not in a rude manner.
For instance, I am someone who rarely uses the word "cute" in anything, no pun intended, but when I was at the mall one day I ended up seeing two little twins about 3 years old eating in big chairs pretending to be there parents. When one of the brothers had dropped his napkin I heard the other one say to him, "it's OK brother I'll get you another one." and they just went on pretending to be adults. That to me is something I had considered cute.
My depiction from above is kind of what I used to type and write like except worse. Lastly I also feel that sometimes just observing people who might not be wearing or acting like what you might think is normal, can help open one's eyes to how different we all really are and that we do in fact have our own identity's.
Nice (or should I say cute?) post, Owen.
ReplyDeleteThrough "people watching," we infer (not always consciously) an awful lot about the random people we come across.
