Banana Observation

Think banana

I have always loved bananas, and when we got this assignment, it seemed the most natural to observe my favorite fruit.

It was 8:51 AM on Saturday morning when I started observing the banana. I started by being very anxious and tense, worrying about what will I be able to write about my fruit only by looking at it. I don't like writing in general, and this seemed even harder to do, how will I come up with a story about a fruit? As the minutes went by, I got more relaxed and I concentrated on my task. I didn't dislike just sitting there, in my kitchen and just observing the banana. I realize now that I never really looked at a fruit in this way before, maybe just superficially when I buy them at the store, I try

Got me thinking I take the strings apart, because I don't like eating them. I see there is a brown piece at its end and that the flesh looks fresh. When feeling the flesh, it seems pretty hard, after touching it, it sticks to my fingers and I didn't wipe my hands and I noticed the banana on my fingers became dry at the touch, and that the not so sweet smell is present on my skin. I could see the next layer of the flesh, it looked mushy. The brown piece at the end became darker by the minutes the banana had been opened. After nine minutes after being opened the banana and the inside of its peel started becoming brownish.

I got distracted for a bit and read the label of the cereal box I had in my sight, that made me think I like my cereal with banana. Then I thought about banana bread, and that I haven't had any in a while. It's funny how I like everything that has bananas in it; desserts, juices, basically anything. When I took another bite from it, I could see the mushy layer of the skin. I notice that the flesh has 5 sides just like the skin had 5 sides. The inside of the peel felt cold when I touched it, and it felt smooth when I ran my fingers along it. I could see the strings attached to it. Then I realized I don't know whey monkeys eat bananas.

After being opened for 30 minutes, the banana became only a little more brown. At this point I started getting a little bored and more hungry. Then I started being
