rivers

I really like Mark Twain's analogy of the Mississippi river and I think it really shows why we decided to have our final project be a river rather than the tree. The river conveys more of a feeling of creating its own path, rather than a tree that seems to be forced to move upward. A river flows freely creating streams, creeks, and brooks in its path. I think these creeks and brooks that the river can create are representative of the divergent thinking of this class. The river may be flowing in one direction headed straight for the ocean (representative of overarching biology/lit theme of class?) but on the way to that ocean it allows the freedom to explore new areas and in the case of our class, new ideas.
