Essay #5 El Camino Delrosso by David Searcy

This essay has a very distinct purpose: Showing the reader the ephemeral nature that life presents. The truck had been gotten rid of swiftly, even the man driving the truck had his life taken away swiftly. The essay overall is relatively depressing. There is not much to go by the credibility of the author, however, his message is so universal, and the essay was so anecdotal, assuming the reader can trust his telling to be true, Searcy does a good job at portraying his purpose. By spending the majority of the essay on the obtaining of the truck, and quickly and brutally killing the kitten, taking the truck, and killing of Tracey, it really helps to emphasize the fast nature of life.

Some Say life is short. But wouldn't this essay argue that it simply moves too fast?
