I liked being able to picture what Mclean is describing as I read USFS 1919. I felt that Mclean was displaying the characteristics of a child that hates not being in the spotlight when Bill acknowledges the cook with his attention more than he acknowledges Mclean with the same amount of attention. When I read a book I like being able to picture what is going on in the story. USFS 1919 does a great job of being very descriptive when Mclean talks about the scenery. I liked how he used phrases that made us think about how even something as simple as telling someone about a job can become a story in itself. As Mclean said, " I had as yet no notion that life every now and then becomes literature...". That line stuck out to me because it made me think about my life and how a simple event could turn into a story. I've never thought about my life in the perspective that Mclean looks at all throughout USFS 19.
