Introduction of Effective Sentences Piece

For this piece, I chose Discussion Board Assignment 8, which I wroteApril 15, 2009. I had to summarize Samuel Clemens',"Two Ways of Viewing the River"(1883). This particular summary was a lot of fun to write. I really tried to stretch my use of descriptions, in order to capture what I imagined as I read this essay. One of my favorite excerpts is, "The smallest most simple features of the river projected beauty in his eyes. He marveled at how the colors of the sunset danced across it, and transformed the river into a picturesque work of art." This essay had a lot of emotion and thoughtful points in it. And I enjoyed every step of the reading, writing , and summarizing the context of the piece in my own words.
