I think he clearly went into the funeral home really knowing anything about it and thinking the whole thing was kind of scary. He had a lot of stereotypes in his head that all the people would be almost scary and not very friendly, just that it would be an uncomfortable place all around. He comes to realize that this is not true, although he said Howard looked as he had assumed he would, he was a very friendly guy. He also came into the funeral home thinking about how death is something people do not like to think about and when he walked in he did not even want to look at the first body but by the time he left he actually touched one. He did however, remain logical and not being absurd with his ideas of what it would be like in there before. I have never been to a funeral home either and honestly I probably have the exact same thoughts as he did. I thought the writer also did a very good job of describing the funeral home, his initial description of the room and furniture and nothing being on the desk gave me a very vivid image of how it actually looked. Overall I think he did a very good job explaining his visit to the funeral home and I ended up being more interested in it then I thought I would. I think this piece will also help me write mine because it just kind of gives me an idea in my head of what it is supposed to be like.
