O b) He first thinks of the river as dirty and gross but later comes to appreciate its natural beauty.

O c) At first he sees it as beautiful, but his experiences take away the wonder of it.

d) He first sees it only for swimming and fishing but later sees ways in which the river provides a livelihood for those working it

Answer:

c) At first he sees it as beautiful, but his experiences take away the wonder of it.

Explanation:

The book Two Ways of Viewing the River by Mark Twan tells of his personal experience that also applies to many other people today. He once loved and adored the river. But his attraction to it soon waned when he became a steamboat pilot. Twain thus wondered whether it was better to just admire the beauty of nature or get so used to it that our attraction to it fades.

He compared this to doctors who have become so used to observing diseases in the human body that they might not recognize it when a woman has a flush on her face. This is because they might attribute that to a disease.

True or False

When the ocean liner Titanic sank in April of 1912, one of the few men to survive the tragedy was J. Bruce Ismay, the chairman and managing director of the company that owned the ship. After the disaster, however, Ismay was savaged by the media and the general public for climbing into a lifeboat and saving himself when there were other women and children still on board. Ismay said he’d already helped many women and children into lifeboats and had only climbed in one himself when there were no other women or children in the area and the boat was ready to release. But it didn’t matter. His reputation was ruined. He was labeled an uncivilized coward and, a year after the disaster, he resigned his position at White Star.

Which of these sentences is an anecdote?

I was aboard a plane flying home to Canada. I travel a lot and I get pretty disgusted with the
conditions in air travel these days. After being served my meal, I was ready to start complaining
to the person next to me about the food, the uncomfortable seats, the delays, and the general
inconvenience
Before I opened my mouth, the woman sitting next to me spoke. She had a thick accent and in
broken English she talked about the wonderful service she received on the plane. She then
proceeded to comment on the cheerful flight attendants, and then she said, "We were fortunate
to be having such a fine meal. I am so happy to be flying to Vancouver to visit my
grandchildren." Amazed, I asked, "How can you be so positive and optimistic in a world that
seems so marginal?"
"I am from Sarajevo," she said. "I have seen my friends and many of my family killed. I joined
my family here in your wonderful country. You see, the food on the plane, the delays, they don't
matter to me. Since coming here, every day is a good day for me. I have learned that there are
really no bad days any more, only bad thoughts."
Her comment put everything into perspective.
