Susan Orlean "The American Man, Age Ten"

Susan Orlean writes a story about a young boy named Collin Duffy. She talks about the way that young kids think compared to the way that we believe they do. She realizes that kids are happy with the way that they live and they do not need to know more then they already do. All kids want is for nothing in there life to change. When I read this I realized it was completely true because when I think about my life, sometimes I wish I could be a kid forever. Being young is easy and there is no stress involved. Young kids can just be happy and smile because that is really all that they know how to do.
