Response to "September"

While this was a very short piece, I really found it to be quite emotional. First of all, I am a lover of cats, so I found the fact that it was a dead cat to be very sad. However, I found the descriptions of the cat and what it may have been doing when it died gives the reader a great visual scene. I also really like how Purpura describes the earth as "home" for the cat, as well as describing the cat by its "simplest components", which I also found to be an interesting addition to this short essay.
