Bottle Caps

Dybek and I seem to have shared a similar way of interpreting our world as children, which I enjoyed revisiting in this piece. I liked that he didn't try to impose the perspective of his older self on the observations he had made as a child. In that mindset, it made sense to hoard bottle caps and judge them like halloween candy. The ending of this piece made me smile. The contrast in the way that Dybek and his younger brother viewed the bottle caps highlighted to me the way that imagination can make completely new meanings out of ordinary items life. It was refreshing how he was able to appreciate that moment in his life for what it brought him.
