Krista Ramsey wrote a blog called Still reflecting on act of vandalism on Opening Day. This was about Krista being at the parade and not being able to see over the crowed. She looks back to see a son and a parent standing on top of plants. They did this to get a better view but at the cost of killing the plants. Her lesson was that together society is pretty but if you choose to vandalism thing your society will look bad. They where destroying someone else plants for there own amusement and disregarding that they where costing the local business money.

The line that was best written and had the most impact on the reader was "At the end of the day, you – me, all of us – might do well to pause a minute and consider the view of the world we claim for ourselves and, in getting it, the view of ourselves we leave behind." She used dashes to add more emphasis on that everyone leaves a mark on society and the world. You deiced how others view you as a person and as a community member. Everyone has an impact on the world, you decided weather or not it will be a good impact or not. The world does not belong to any one person it belongs to everyone. All people must contribute in a good way to make the world a better place. Standing on the flower was a bad impact on society. How she reversed the words view to give it too separate meanings was clever. The first on how you view the world has to do with arrogance. How the world views you is how other people see you and judge you.
In all of Krista Ramsey articles she used a very conversational style of writing. this makes her writing very easy to read and to understand. She tells true story that can be easily related to. Stuff we can imagine our self doing in real life. Her writing always has a message.
Question number one: Why do you love the earth so much?
Question number two: where do you get your ideas?
Question number three: Where did you grow up?
