Beans of Egypt Maine This was a very interesting writing overall. The writer in my opinion found a way to tell the story of the “other side” of people in most communities in Maine in a way that has made so many people stand up and pay attention. This is a skill of its own right. There are many places in this writing when it is easy to let your own life experiences relate to those being written about in the book. I have learned how we can find a way to relate to his writings in the way the writer’ thoughts become our own reality by placing part of our own personal experiences into the writing itself.
Because my parent’s always took the time to explain the opposite side of the argument, I have become a person that listens to what other people have to say to understand why they see things the way that they do.
