I like how the author connected costco to her life and how she constantly compared her curiosity of the items within costco to her curiosities out of costco. I also liked when she compared the ladies over flowing basket and the samples at costco to her interest by saying  "Just as I sampled buffalo­chicken dip or chocolate truffles, I probed the realms of history, dance and biology, all in pursuit of the ideal cart–one overflowing with theoretical situations and notions both silly and serious."]]> 2020-11-05 18:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/catherine_misar1/w0zyqj08ryck5g0x/wish/895300878 https://padlet.com/catherine_misar1/w0zyqj08ryck5g0x/wish/895303360 The author's tone reminds me of someone telling a suspenseful story. She also provides many metaphors and allusions to moments in history. For example, "I was a conquistador, but rather than searching the land for El Dorado, I scoured aisles for free samples."]]> 2020-11-05 18:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/catherine_misar1/w0zyqj08ryck5g0x/wish/895303360 https://padlet.com/catherine_misar1/w0zyqj08ryck5g0x/wish/895308371 I liked how the essay was very detailed and had a smooth flow of words when she was describing Costco and telling the things she bought and used. For example, "Costco has endured a steady presence throughout my life. As a veteran Costco shopper, I navigate the aisles of foodstuffs, thrusting the majority of my weight upon a generously filled shopping cart whose enormity juxtaposes my small frame. Over time, I’ve developed a habit of observing fellow patrons tote their carts piled with frozen burritos, cheese puffs, tubs of ice cream, and weight­loss supplements."]]> 2020-11-05 18:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/catherine_misar1/w0zyqj08ryck5g0x/wish/895308371 https://padlet.com/catherine_misar1/w0zyqj08ryck5g0x/wish/895308489 The author's tone made the essay sound great and happy.

When the author was talking about her interest and her unbounded desires it tied the whole essays tone together.
