Coney Island of the Mind

I pressed play on this video, expecting to be bored or not interested.  The words that the writer uses are so captivating.  I could not take my attention away from the screen for even a second.  The words flowed like music and the story itself catches your attention.  It reminds me about a paper I once wrote on Peter Pan.  We never really grow up in our mind.  As long as we keep our childhood and memories alive, they will never die.  I never knew the Coney Island she talks about.  I never knew Coney Island at all except for in the movie, Uptown Girl.  In the movie she see Coney Island the same was the author does.  When they were younger, it was the greatest place in the world to them.  Now, they relive that memory in their head.  It will never die.  They will always live on as long as we keep the inner child inside of us.  This was a beautiful piece of writing that I will continue to watch forever.  It has touched me and brought me back to my childhood.

  1. I'm glad you liked it. Hofstra students are mega-talented. Don't be surprised at what you see here. I can't wait to show you what else these writers have done. I can't wait to see what you will do.
