Assignment 2.5

           After reader a number of my other classmates’ observations on Kalman’s “Back to the Land,” I found that while their detail of notice varied from mine, all had pertinent responses that made me look at the writing in a different perspective.  A number of my peers focused upon Kalman’s emphasis on clearly dividing the city way of fast life, fast talking, and of course fast food.  Many found it amusing that Kalman seem to amusingly associate the city with predominately having fast food makes for fast talkers and fast walkers versus the slow and healthy life of the farm with the cultivating and consuming of only simple foods.  A number of readers hinted that Kalamn’s reasoning for writing the way she did was to actually scare readers from eating “Very Fast Food.” for “If you eat too much of this food you become sick and almost fatafat. and no amount of fatafat pills will help you” (Kalman 87).  Finally, many of the readers, as myself, saw that much of Kalman’s emphasis was on the youth as a number mentioned Kalman focus on the school routine of the young students.  These observations concurred with mine in that I genuine believe that Kalman was not only targeting the adult reader in her writing but the young reader as well.
