Weldon: Critique 1

Weldon, I love how you humanized a lamp in your piece. It felt like an episode out of Family Guy—when they humanize inanimate objects—or when South Park does episodes on Mr. Towelie and his life. I would say that I wanted more from the resume—or maybe I did not want it to be a resume at all. As I read your piece, I totally disregarded the title and jumped straight in. Once I got to the end, I read the title and noticed it was not in a resume format. I thought to myself that if this were just ‘the chronicles of Lamp’, you could have furthered the character of Lamp because I felt that the resume didn't leave room for elaboration.
