Coney Island of the Mind

The video on Coney Island of the Mind is very well written. I enjoyed the placement of a decaying obsolete land that arose to stimulate the imagination, and the emphasis on realism laid side to side. The reader's voice actually detracted from the piece a little bit because of the extremely heavy accent, which bordered on parody. He was a very good reader, but unfortunately nearly too native to be taken with full seriousness. The total presentation of the piece was very strong and the writer did an excellent job of employing a variety of stupendous verbs. Sometimes I felt like the language became slightly too sentimental and overdone but for the vast majority of the piece I appreciated the writing.
