In The Last Stop, Brian Cable describes what a funeral home looks like and what a funeral director is supposed to do. Cable recalls all of the details about the house and what the funeral director is supposed to look like. His assumption of the place was that it was going to a be very different from a regular building but really all it is a plain old building just like any other. Cable talks about his visit throughout the his essay as he explains what he sees. Through this new experience Cable recounts several of the of rooms he saw such as the room where they restored the bodies or the room where you could purchase the coffins. He assumed that going to the funeral home was going to be boring but actually after touring the place and seeing it in person Cable thought different because of the service it does for people. Most people never want to go to a morgue for any reason but it is a simple part of our society and a way of life.
I think Cable did a great job of writing about an experience that was out of his comfort zone and explained it very well. He used a lot of details describing where he was and how it looked to make us feel as if we were there. This is a great essay to read before we start our paper because it is an essay about someone getting way out of their comfort zone and writing in detail about it.
