Brian Cable Reading


The Last Stop

Cable's tone caught me off guard. I'm not sure if he is trying to lighten the situation by joking about it, or if he just a insensitive. I felt that Cable was attacking the mortuary business. As he went on, I felt that he became less judgmental. I suppose since it is a profile essay he was caught off guard initially by the fact that it is a business. I do think Cable did a good job mixing in the facts he researched in with the morgue description, it flowed. At then end when Cable sees a dead body, it's really surprising. I was curious before, but I don't think I would have done that, it seems disrespectful, especially how he goes on to say that he was "happy" to see one.
