John says, “It’s a simple fact that he [Paul] couldn’t have it his own way. He used to sulk and God knows that. It’s always been the same, but only bigger because we are bigger”…
1. In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing. We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others. He told us about Christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were left to assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman.…
The ending chapters of River of Dark Dreams summarized the reopening of slavery arguments and the United States imperial expansion. The reopeners, as well as many other southerners, believed that cotton gave slaveholders power over free men. The hierarchy, power, and necessity that associated itself with slavery was important to have. To be a slaveholder was a privilege, rite of passage, and a societal license in classism. They saw liberal capitalism as a profound threat to the social hierarchy, which was rooted in self-serving claims about paternalism, the enduring value and desirability of social and economic relations, and the cherished connection between slaveholding society and the integrity of individual, patriarchal white households.…

Throughout this story it is apparent Paul does not wish to slowly progress into perfection instead, Paul wants to experience instant gratification and while doing so Paul wants to move his way to the top and remain at the top. One down fall for Paul is that his method of personal achievement is attempted by being deceitful, telling lies to everyone that surrounds him including his teachers, his elders, and his father. Paul had the struggle of being successful yet, because of his hast, Paul was about to fail. In doing so, “he stood watching the approaching locomotive, his teeth chattering, his lips drawn away from them in a frightened smile; once or twice he glanced nervously sidewise, as though he were being watched.” (65). Paul appeared to think this was a time when he would be remember, that he would finally achieve what he was looking for, stardom, people would remember him and Paul ended his own life.…
The characteristics of the river reflect with some of the character personalities and life. Matt Reynolds explains in his book review how “Paul connects to the rough rapids “ because he “lives a more successful life...but in the end his reckless and unpredictable nature ends up leading to his demise. “ Reynolds also describes how Norman “connects to the slow flowing streams” because he is pretty much the exact opposite of his brother Paul. Maclean’s father would also parallel fly fishing with life and teach lessons through it. To his father, ”all good things come by grace, and grace comes by art, and art does not come easy." He believed that if you wanted something you had to work hard towards it. He tried teaching this through fly fishing. Practicing fly fishing was his way of teaching hard work and catching a fish was the compensation of all that hard…
With towering bald cypress trees and long stretches of calm water, the Frio River in Concan, Texas, provides public waters for visitors looking to go tubing.

Driving in, cell phone reception dies and people get the chance to look up and see the wondrous nature provided by the Texas Hill Country.…

All situations and topics have multiple views and perspectives to them. A paradox exhibits contradictory aspects in which there is not either a single good or a bad, positive or negative. In The Artificial River The Erie Canal and the Paradox of Progress, 1817-1862, written by Carol Sheriff, there are many different examples of paradoxes. Towns initially saw the Canal having a negative impact on them, but realized it could help. The Canal provided for faster transportation, but in the case of a crash would take a long time to recover from. Also businessmen benefitted from the Canal, but other lost a lot of money because of it. The Canal provided dramatic change to the upstate New York area. In some cases this change resulted in prosperity and in others it resulted in failure and loss.…
