Chapter 4-7 Response

The more I read this book the more I feel the plot and narrative are overdone. The topic is a very famous topic and while the insight on the "two horse" town is helpful to find perspective and create an atmosphere for the read the actual story just feels extremely overdone. The writing style is very easy to follow which helps the reader navigate through the chapters. This issue creates an argument in my head of having a good concept and bad writing versus a bland topic and good writing. I hope the narrative enhances through the chapters so both the writing and story entice me. In case my words are misinterpreted, I do not in any way feel this topic is not a major event in history, in fact, I believe its the opposite which is why I wished it would have been done better. Better in the sense the narrating voice would have been more descriptive and heartfelt. For such a personal work I don't feel emotions or ties. This feels less like a memoir and more like a school report.
