The first thing that stood out to me was what we are currently working on, description. From the beginning Petroski uses description to tell his story. What is well done in this essay is the fact that it is relatable. Everyone has been a child, and half the population has had children themselves. Because everyone has experienced at leased one of these things, it is easy to read and understand due to the fact that it has in one form or another, happened to them.

Failures always dodge in on our way to success, but that does not mean we dodge too. I think his point in this essay is that our failures do not define who we are. Instead of thinking that way, he tells us to learn from our failures to get back up and challenge ourselves to success in any way. Another thing I found interesting was how he kept providing the popular nursery rhymes and defined them in his own way. When I was little, I did not get the chance to learn from those nursery rhymes.
