The river starts at the bottom right hand corner of the image, it goes to the left of the image and then makes a loop back to the right, goes to the middle of the image, and then it make a loop to the left. The river then disappears behind some trees and you can no longer see it. From the base of the mountains on the right of the image you see that the valley leads right to the river, and then there seems to be a sudden drop in the terrain when it reaches the rivers loop in the middle of the image. From that loop of the river we see that there appears to be trees from that sudden drop all along the river on the right side of the image coming towards the bottom of the image. As we look closer to the river we see that there appears to be a sandy “beach” along the river’s edge.…
The range of key concepts that I will be studying is vertical erosion, hydraulic action, and lateral erosion. As the river goes downstream it will get wider due to lateral erosion. As the river goes downstream it will get deeper due to vertical erosion. To prove my theory and hypothesis that the river moves downstream the cross profile will increase in size…
The author uses a series of rhetorical devices in the passage such as asyndeton to help communicate his fascination of rivers to the reader. An example of this is “It generates its own internal forces through its size, its sediment load, its depth, variations in its bottom, its ability to cave in the riverbank and slide sideways for miles, and even tidal influences...” (20-23). This example is very useful to our understanding of rivers because it’s very detailed and rich in in facts.…
The wetlands of Louisiana are part of a deltaic system that is fed by the multiple rivers. Three rivers converge on the Mississippi River as it flows south into the Gulf of Mexico. These rivers courier silt and materials downstream into the wetlands. When materials begin to block different routes the river path will redirect itself. As the sediments change direction and span out new land is formed. This process is known as a delta switching and is responsible for the rich nutrients that support life in the wetlands.…

In Animal Farm, by George Orwell, the author displays the power of rhetoric. The pigs within the novel effectively use rhetoric to persuade the other animals in a variety of ways. Three powerful rhetorical tools that the pigs use are ethos, pathos, and logos.…

In the story “ Rainy River” the author goes through a lot of discomfort, confusion, and anxiety. He intentionally chooses words and phrases to evoke those emotions in his readers. “In June of 1968, a month after graduating from Macalester College, I was drafted to fight a war I hated.” The author didn’t want to fight in the war. He believed that it was wrong. He goes on to explain these feelings by giving reasons why he shouldn’t have to fight in the war. The author also states “ I was wired and jittery. My skin felt too tight. After supper one evening I vomited and went back to my cabin and lay down for a few moments and then vomited again;” The author showed his emotions in this statement a lot because it shows how anxious he was. He is confused…
The Mississippi River has created the landscape for most of Louisiana. When a landscape is formed or changed due to a water source, or multiple water sources, it is called karst topography. Over time, the Mississippi River has not remained as just one channel like it was in the past, but it has instead taken out land and created channels all throughout Louisiana. The…

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.…
