This essay I thought it was interesting. I liked the idea of him telling the reader of the places that he went to and explained how he felt going there. I also liked that he makes sure the reader knows and realizes the passion that he has in traveling. In just the second paragraph I believe to see the thesis when he states, "I had a sheltered boyhood and was a cautious boy." To me it revealed the real reason of why he traveled.
William Zinsser uses great description in all his explanations as to telling the reader how he really feels about exploring. I love the part in piece where he states it as being apart of his DNA! He goes from when he was a child and was cautious, to what he calls "snipping the umbilical cord" and enlisting in the army. I thought it as his way of showing the transition of his life. From a boy to a man!
