An Analysis Of Hugh Gallagher's Essay Parody

476 Words2 Pages

Joining an online course isn’t the easiest thing in the world to complete just like completing college isn’t easy. But there are people out there that are very much ready to do both, like Hugh Gallagher the man who wrote a parody that became huge throughout the nation. With this parody Gallagher shows that he has a brilliant mind and a huge imagination. Therefor I think Gallagher is a good applicant for online courses because he is creative and different than many other college students.

No one could read that book in a day especially 2 more like it and then refurbish an entire dining room, there is just no way. This clearly shows the point that Gallagher is trying to make, which is that he has an imagination that is above and beyond many of
