Seeing 1 (page 91)

K.C. Cole finds a world where everything is either too big or too small magically seductive. The idea of things being too large in scale or too microscopic makes her feel motivated to tell others that it would be amazing. She finds the laws of nature interesting as the size changes in objects. Coles' essay shows that detail is important. Many miss detail in day to day life. We miss the bigger and smaller pictures and don't understand or see anything in sizes that aren't ours. The fact about the fly in water and how water is one of the "stickiest substance around" was very interesting. One wouldn't think about this but if we the fly's size it would be completely reasonable. I don't think any of the facts will change the way I think permanently but I think I will think about things more than I have. I think this essay was very informative but I don't think it does enough to really make me want to change the way I think. I think the essay was very interesting and I thought about everything it said but I don't think I will in the moment.
