Jessica Rodriguez: Reaction to "Neat People vs. Sloppy People" by Suzanne Brit (Blog #12)

This is a great essay, Neat people vs. Sloppy people by Suzanne Britt, in it the author used many humorous details to show the different characteristics of the two types of personalities. In my opinion, the author favors sloppy people, she says that sloppy people live in never never land and that someday they are planning to alphabetize all their books and set up home catalogues. For all these reasons and more, sloppy people never get neat. They aim too high and wide. They save everything, planning someday to file. On the other hand she says that neat people are bums and clods at heart. Neat people will toy with the idea of throwing the children out of the house just to cut down on the clutter. Neat people don't care about process, they like results. Neat people operate on two unvarying principles, never handle any item twice, and throw everything away. Neat people are especially vicious with mail. Neat people place neatness above averything, even economics. According to the essay neat people are incredible wasteful, and cut a clean swath through the organic as well as the inorganic world. People, animals, and things are all one to them. They are so insensitive.
