My Evaluation of Lou's Place

In my opinion the descriptive piece "Lou's Place" is well written. The ideas were well developed, rich in thought and clearly presented. It catered well to the reader's imagination, emotions and senses. One was able to get a clear sense of the restaurant itself- what it looked like, what it might feel like to be there, and why it was such a place of endearment to all those who visited.
The sequence of the piece was well-structured; there was a clear introduction, body and conclusion. There was fluid and logical movement throughout the piece and transitions were well balanced. There was also no confusion as to the temporal flow of the piece though it explores the passing of time at the restaurant. The past, present and future of the place are all clear to the reader. There is flair and creativity with word choice and the consistent and appropriate use of figurative language. There is unusual experimentation with the language that blends well into the piece. Sentences flow well and create a gentle rhythm that coincides with the hub of the place. This piece is not exciting, but it is interesting. It moves at a slow pace that seems to fit with the quaint, slow moving life being described in a place that seems to be a world of its own. I thoroughly enjoyed the piece though I am usually more interested in thriller like story-telling. Generally an interesting and unusual read.
