Some English homework

RE: Craft, Care at Flatbread Company Makes Up for Sparse Menu

Is it sad that it took me a short while to realize that "flatbread" meant "pizza"? Must be a regional thing. Reading this article just made me hungry and lament that I can't even afford the really greasy pizzas I'm used to, let alone these organically delicious creations. Her evaluation at the end seemed to mesh well with her descriptions at the beginning, although it begs me to go off on another tangent when it comes to appetizers. Why do we need to have them in the first place? And why does it matter if there are so few? I'm not at a restaurant to eat an appetizer, I go there to eat...food. Appetizers shouldn't even be necessary, that's almost like saying "Hey, your main courses are insufficient enough to feed me! Bring me more lettuce!" Bleh. However, I must jump back to the original topic and say once again that her evaluation was thorough and thoughtful. She describes everything so vividly I can almost picture it in my mind. Mmm, pizza...

RE: Potter Power

And here I thought I was the only one who wasn't all that thrilled with Harry Potter, although the author never did give his opinions on the books, as he was reviewing the movie version. I feel that my personal views on the material made the article seem boring to read, and I found myself merely skimming through it. I'm not a fan of J.K. Rowling's style of writing, even if I overlooked the fact that she is British and I am not. Some of my favorite authors are British, so that excuse you might give me is right out. I must say that the author was a tad snarky, perhaps the poor guy was stuck in the theatre with a bunch of squealing fan girls. If nothing else, Mr. Outhier, I completely agree with your assessment.
