Response to "Out of the Garden"

I really didn't like this story, I'm not going to lie.

At first, it sounded somewhat interesting, to hear about the narrorator's grandmother from a different culture, but then it just got increasingly boring and more about farming, and other related subjects that 99.825% of college students don't want to read about unless they are agriculture majors, which I don't think actually exists unless you are going to the University of Idaho to try out potato planting.

Yeah, not fun.

Basically, the story was about a girl and her various memories of her grandmother throughout life. Not very exciting.

The situation is basically the same thing, that basic plot, but without all the reflection that the author adds in between. To be truthful, that reflection, or the real story behind the situation, just made the piece way more long and boring than it actually had to be. So I wasn't exactly excited to read it. The ending was dumb too. If she wanted to know if the frickin mushrooms were bad for her, she could just eat them and find out? Seriously, who cares?

This piece was just not an interesting concept at all. I'm not a fan. I do indeed like potatoes though...
