I like how the piece opens not with the narrator describing how this ?accident? happened, but with a poem that a boy in his old high school wrote. I think it helps bring people in. Martin has an interesting story to tell. It?s amazing (and so lucky!) that his schedule had gotten lost. This happy accident let him go into horticulture and discover his passion. When he?s talking, his voice is often shaky, and at times it seems that he is reading from a piece of paper. Even when he expresses his feelings, it doesn?t seem sincere. Other than this small detail, I think that this piece is great.
