I really enjoy reading The Rite of Spring because it balances warm, personal storytelling with surprisingly deep insights into life, growth, and human nature. Arthur Miller doesn’t just talk about gardening—he uses this everyday hobby as a mirror to reflect on our hopes, flaws, and need for connection to the natural world. Miller uses gentle irony to make his points stick. For example, he jokes that Adam was the first gardener, and even though his story didn’t end well, gardening is still the perfect job for humans because it lets us keep hope alive.

I think this essay is very well-written and rich in content.
On the one hand, it employs a variety of writing techniques such as personification
and exaggeration，creating an immersive experience for readers and helping them better understand the text.
On the other hand, the use of elliptical sentences and parenthetical expressions also strengthens the overall narrative structure of the essay.
All in all, the author demonstrates outstanding literary talent.

I think The Rite of Spring is great! The author’s writing is really fun to read, not too formal at all. That whole “hot dogs vs. green veggies” bit is such a clever, relatable way to show how much he actually cares about gardening. It starts like a silly joke, but you can tell by the end how deeply passionate he is about growing things. Plus, his descriptions of the garden are so vivid—talking about the smell of the soil, the first little sprouts popping up, even the quiet excitement of waiting for seeds to grow. It makes you feel like you’re right there with him in the garden, experiencing that same joy. It’s just such a warm, charming read overall!

I like The Rite of Spring very much. It’s light, funny, and easy to follow.
The author writes really well. For example, he uses simple, clear words to talk about his garden and spring, like “the scent of the earth in April.” He also adds funny lines, such as saying he’d rather eat “juicy and fat” hot dogs than vegetables. And i think these simple but vivid details make the story lively and fun to read.

I really like this article. The author's literary talent is remarkable: for instance, by using personification to make spring vivid and lively, and by employing the technique of first raising expectations then lowering them to draw readers' attention, the writing is delicate and has a strong appeal. It has both educational value and aesthetic value.

1.I think this essay is really well-written. The writer mixes personal feelings with scenery, writes in soft, beautiful language, and can make ordinary spring scenes feel meaningful and touching.
2.（1）He writes about the smell of spring earth, the warm sunlight, and the lively birds. You can almost see and feel spring right in front of you.
（2）He gives nature human feelings, like saying the sun “means business”. It makes spring lively and interesting, not plain at all.

I really enjoy The Rite of Spring. I think the metaphor, personification and exaggeration used by the author in the article fully reflect the author's literary talent. The contrast between language and behavior in the article is a reflection of his talent. For example, he said at the beginning of the article that he would not plant again, but in fact he insisted on taking care of the vegetable garden.

I think this article is very well-written. It employs some rhetorical devices such as personification and exaggeration. Through some interesting descriptions, it highlights the author's change in attitude towards gardening and shows his love for gardening.At the same time, I also think the title of the article is very good. On the one hand, it indicates that the theme of the article is gardening; on the other hand, I also think it demonstrates the author's enjoyment of gardening.I enjoy it.

I think this article is written very vividly and humorously. In this article,the author describes growing vegetables as a somewhat obsessive but reasonable activity. Using a slightly self-mocking tone. He expresses his is inability to resist the urge to grow vegetables, demonstrating his love for farming.
