"Lay of the Land" Blog Entry

In my first blog, I stated that I am writing this blog for my English class. For this class, we will be required to write a blog entry each week in response to a reading. My reading for this week is entitled "Lay of the Land" and was written by my teacher Nicole Williams.
The paper is an example of one that I must write for my ethnographic study. In her paper, she describes the appearance and events that occur in the bowling alley of her hometown. She uses a lot of imagery, which is an allusion to the stereotypical bowling alley that everyone has visited at least once in their life. I was most surprised about her detail, including everything from the people around her to what was on the menu. I didn't expect her to go into detail about the different bowling teams. It also caught me by surprise that she alluded to past stereotypes, such as the old bowler with the fancy collared shirt.
Another thing I noticed was the fact that she made assumptions about the men, such as when she mentions that one bowler must be a fan of wrestling, and that he will probably leave around 8-o'-clock. I don't think you should make such subjective assumptions in a paper like this, which is meant to describe the location. It doesn't seem to fit into the other objective descriptions shown throughout the essay.
I consider this essay a great descriptive essay that took plenty of observation, since so much detail went into it.
