I really liked "Things To Do Today" by Joe Wenderoth because instead of setting the story up in paragraph form, he has simply made a list of nearly 100 things to do. The list contains some strange and ironic things like, "set the famous criminals free," and "oversleep." I believe that the list is a representation of all the impossible things people plan to do, while giving themselves little time to do it.
In Dillard's "Total Eclipse," the repetition in the first few paragraphs reminded me of a poem. Dillard uses a lot of description when writing her essay, like when she describes a clown made of vegetables as having parsley eyebrows, red chili pepper lips, and beans for ears.
