first person narrative

The nonfiction, first-person narrative that I chose to read is called "On Principle." It is tertaining because it is a very unique story that has many different elements and characters that, at first, seem somewhat irrelevant to the actual story itself. However, the narrator finds a way to bring every part of the story together for a smooth conclusion. Another appealing aspect of this piece of writing is that it is written by a Russian author and takes place in a Russian community. Most of the stories I read take place in America or some other familiar country because it's easier for me to understand the culture and the setting in which the story is taking place. This allows me to imagine myself in the actual story and better understand the situation. It's amazing to me that the author was able to write a story about eels and grudges and still find a way to incorporate lots of humor. I enjoyed reading this narrative :) It was unique and different. As soon as I read the first couple sentences, I was hooked.
