John T. Edge's Reading

I'm Not Leaving Till I Eat This Thing

The sensory details are amazing, right off the bat, he uses them to describe his surroundings. I think it's funny how Edge describes the gross processing of pig lips as if it were something so normal as tying your shoes. But then when he describes the look of pig lips, it starts getting gross. Edge's transition from present to past, to tell background information, is smooth and it flows well. Similarly, the dialogue does a good job of keeping the story flowing. Edge's closing of eating a pig lip is great, it connects him to the people he was interviewing; he is not just a reporter, he is a character. Once again, his sensory details were amazing, especially as he describes eating the pig lip. I can imagine eating the pig lip myself, as gross as that is!
