Blog #7- My Wood

I enjoy short stories because I feel that they get right to the point and tell me what they want to say. In the essay of 'My Wood', written by a man of course, he talks about owning property. The author talks about how when you own property you feel more "manly" and important. He says how when you own property or a house that you always want to be doing something to it and how your afraid other people will do bad things to it and all your hard work is gone. This is true, however, this can be referred to almost anything we own not just houses. And women like owning property too and taking care of it. I feel that this essay was rather sexist but overall it was a nice short read.
