Book 1 Post 1

I chose the book How I Killed Pluto and Why it Deserved it because it had an interesting title that made me interested in what the rest of the book would be about. I have always been fascinated by space exploration, the planets, and intergalactic phenomena, so it was an easy pick when I saw a book that discussed the classification of planets. I had no expectations going into this book, but I hope to learn more about space classification and how to write complex information in a more digestible format for the general audience. From what I have read so far, I believe that Brown will excel in that and teach me not only about the universe, but how to simplify my writing.

Brown is an interesting author. From what I have read so far, I really enjoy his writing style. It feels very personal, as if he is having a direct conversation with me and understands that I know little to nothing about planetary classification, so he guides me through the entire process. Much like how Professor Hansen has taught us about guiding our readers across the stepping stones of a river, Brown does the same with his book. I am excited to continue reading, and am hopeful that I will gain some skills along the way.
