This piece seems to focus on the substance hands give to us.
My take- away from this essay is that our hands are the way to feel the
physical earth. The first paragraph is probably repetitive with hay bales,
strings, and twine. I don’t feel like being repeatitive is efficient because it
loses the readers interest. I really liked the way he connects to the horses. I
think the part about the horses is efficient because he is showing how humans
can connect with another species (horses) by touch and sight. I think I would
have wanted him to explain more about his actually work on a farm because I
felt he was just describing what you are supposed to do.
I also felt like this was really repetitive and like he was just describing the motions. I think this essay would have been a lot better if he talked more about the feelings of farm life and what he thought about the horses instead of just describing his work too. I know what you mean!
