Nerf'said

The author’s best idea was writing about a childhood toy that is loved and looked back on fondly. I personally know many college students who still own and use Nerf guns currently. They are the perfect harmless toy that leads to hours and hours of entertainment. The author gains the readers’ interest by starting the paper out with a broad topic that left you asking “what is he talking about?” He continued his interesting topic by giving background information on the most important guy throughout the paper so that the reader could get to know him and develop a relationship with him as they continued reading and learning about this man’s life. He was most successful in his paragraphs where he talked about the design process and how the employees work to design toys for the kids. My favorite part was the ending when he mentions the kids having a capture the flag game with the hundreds of darts all across the field. The author was very creative in how he approached this topic, it could have been boring but the way he structured it and the details he included saved it from being a snooze fest. I was really interested in learning about a toy from my childhood that I still use today sometimes that I had never given much thought to.
