Intro to analysis

Two ways of viewing a river is a short poem like story that was written by Samuel Clemens. I used this piece to demonstrate my ability to write analytically on how Clemens interpreted the beauty of life. Clemens speaks of how the world is such a beautiful place when everything around you is fresh and new, but after that beauty is over exposed to person it diminishes eventually to being no more than normal and the mystery that once made the world so lovely just isn’t there anymore. I believe the best example of how I analyzed this piece is the deeper message that Clemens is describing about life, that everything in this world will inevitably fall from its glory if a person is constantly in its embrace. The best way Clemens can teach a person to enjoy the beauty of life is to experience a little bit of everything that the world has to offer so that one can truly appreciate it to the fullest. In conclusion I hope other readers can subsequently see the deep thought I put behind each sentence of my analysis of two ways of viewing a river.
