I found this essay very interesting and informative about the malaleuca tree. It kept me interested the whole time, and kind of made me feel as if I got an insight into the author's life. It funny because we initially introduced the plant in order to soak up standing water to elminate disease, and oddly enough our good intentions ended up harming the environment once again. I like how he clarified that the name malaleuca which actually means "tree white" not "bad white".
I dont know why, but I just had to giggle at the authors statement "the campus police never minded my going out there alone because I never told them about it." It reminds me of something I would do just to avoid the conflict. I dont think I could have handled the flies though, I hate the sounds of buzzing flies, especially when they crash into your face. On top of that, they bite, definately not my cup of tea.
