Kidd The Cheese Monkey Excerpts Review

    When I first started reading the article, it took me a while to figure out where it was going. I really loved the style of the author and how formal yet informal it was. The author made a lot of interesting points in the article. I really thought the point about we view the world from left to right was intersteing. It makes sense in my head, but I've never actually thought about it that much. The author talked about how in a movie the director tends to put the most important person on the left. I'm sure this isn't always true but it makes me want to review some movies and see how many times this does happen. Definitely opened up my eyes to think about where to place certain things and where the human eye seems to travel when thinking about art work. I'm not sure if the author's completely correct, but it'll be cool to explore that more.
       A part in the article I didn't completely agree with or understand was the points the author made about top and bottom. He started saying things about gravity and what goes up must come...I'm guessing down. Then I just felt he didn't explain his point very well. I think he was trying to get at the "Evil" person would be either on top in the frame or on bottom. I'm not quite sure and that leads me to think he didn't exicute it well. Also the author started off and ended with talking about we are trying to get the "enemy" to think this,etc. Who is the enemy? If it's the audience, why do we call them the enemy? We might use this tricks to trick the appearance of things, but I'm still a little confused.
