Reading Response--"Life on Chittock"

Aupperlee’s piece, “Life onChittock: Plenty of Eyes Watch Chittock Avenue, and There is Plenty to Watch”, has quite a bit of foreshadowing but not much pay off. I’m not a fan of the structure he uses to describe the blocks he’s talking about, “the 900 and 1000 blocks”, because I’m not really sure what it means. I’m not really sure which city we’re in either, I mean I assume it’s Jackson because I know that the author is from there but I really don’t get a sense of where Chittock hill is. I don’t identify with Edwards story of reporting speeding and then the police arriving too late—that makes a lot of sense to me that they would arrive too late. The ending seemed abrupt. What else happens? I’m left wondering.
