Ashes

I enjoyed this essay. I liked the sarcasm the mother had. It wasnt the usual sob story like the other essay about the mother dieing. Sadaris really differed from the author from the love of my life because he portrayed his mother as sarcastic and cold at times. The other author portrayed her mother as almost to perfect to the point where it  was unbelievable.  The essays were similar in the sence of the authors brutal honesty, like how the author tells the reader in the love of my life how she reached such a low because of her mother. And in Ashes sadaris is so honest about his mothers personality.
