A Practiced Grace provides evidence about how individuals are regularly being observed. A barista wouldn’t expect a customer to notice her conversation that revealed a fellow co-worker received a “Chia Pet for Christmas” or how the “timer beeps to alert her to the readiness of a fresh pot of coffee.” If she was aware that she was going to be closely observed, she probably would have worn a clean apron instead of one “dirtied by coffee and milk.” Let alone would a barista expect a stranger to write a composition essay on her actions or the final sentence when Jeremy Miller admits, “she catches my eye and I look away, embarrassed” would have been more awkward and uncomfortable for both of them. A Practice Grace certainly confirms how some people aren’t as invisible as they often feel.
I enjoyed most how Jeremy Miller used a stranger to write his paper about. This way he did not have any personal biased opinions on her that could have made its way into his writing.
