"Shipping Out" to sea

David Foster Wallace discusses cruise-line brochures in this essay. He uses a lot of sarcasm, I love it! His paper is very interesting and I don't lose focus once even with how long it is. The paper would not be as strong without his witty insults towards the ridiculous brochures. His hatred for these money stealing pieces of paper is evident from the beginning with his sarcasm and bitterness. I hate when he makes a connection to the anti-depressant Prozac because I think that is completely out of place and rude. I know he did not mean to make it a personal attack but I think he could have used a different analogy. He does make his point very well though that the brochures are very effective at getting customers and getting people to go on the cruises. Honestly, if people want to spend their money on a cruise then so be it. Let them. It is their money.
