Exercise 2

"For one thing, they "suck" puddle water rather than take it in their beaks and throw their heads back to swallow it, something like the difference between drinking a juice box and slinging back a shot of tequila".  This was by far my most favorite quote in the entire entry.  Before I had read this essay I would have never have thought en this to be a research essay.  This is because the type of language that is used and for the most part the first person experience used throughout the essay.  Like one of the bullets stated this essay was pretty interesting, but at the same time was very factual based.  One thing I dd not know was if you trow a piece of clothing in the air after feeding a pigeon they will take flight, or how to remove poo from your hair.  This essay was much different than what I thought a research paper to be, because when most students here research there is usually a sigh following soon after.  If all research essays were composed like this I think it would be easier to right one.  In conclusion to reading this essay I found that reading this research essay was quite enjoyable as much as it was in providing facts.  In reality I think this will give me a confidence boost when it comes to writing essays, by intertwining real life situaitons in as well.
