One part of "The Cheese Monkeys" article that I liked was on page 7, where the author talks about how other dimensions see people in other world's. It's interesting to think that people/things on another planet could see people on Earth as scary or beneath us, when we're thinking the same thing about them. Then also, to think about how many other planets there are and how many other life forms there could be out there, is crazy.
Throughout "The Cheese Monkeys" it seemed like the author kind of skipped around, and was very short with his explanations. I was a little confused at some points, but after reading them a couple more times I kind of figured it out. Also, I didn't really understand what/who The Cheese Monkeys were...I don't recall it ever talking about them. It made me want to read on a little further.
"The Heresy of Zone Defense" was a great article. I enjoyed the last paragraph, in which he compares the thoughts and actions of a basketball player to his actual life. The author does a really good job of illustrating what he's trying to say. It was easy for me to picture everything he talked about, in my head. I love readings that allow me to use my imagination. It was a very detailed and well written article.
The only thing from the article that kind of threw me off, was the section about the painter, and how "dripping paint" came into play. It just seemed like a random paragraph to me. It helped me understand what he was talking about a little more, but it had nothing to do with sports (basketball). There isn't necessarily anything from the article that I didn't agree with. I thought it was great.
