I really liked Sand’s descriptive writing style in this
essay. For example, the sentence “Three bodies packaged in nylon and down are
hunched in the seats, and I claim the last empty corner of the salt-streaked
car”(1) I can picture the bundled up people and the train clearly from the
times I have traveled in Chicago. She makes you feel like you are really apart
of the story and on the train with her. I also like how she flashes back and
forth from the train ride to her memories, it makes the piece very interesting.
One question I have, because the story is so detailed, is do
you keep a travel journal?
