The Nature of the Everglades
This article was really only interesting because of its descriptive nature; the information itself, while well written, was so heavy with information that it was hard to stay interested in it; on top of this the article was some 24 pages long--all about the Everglades. Thats passion. The parts that interested me most was the very beginning when she discussed how the Everglades got its name and the actual discovery of the Everglades. Its not something I've ever thought about before, so it did catch my attention for a few minutes. After this introduction, Marjory goes into EXTREMELY descriptive sections of each important part of the Everglades--the grass, the water, the rock, the river of time, and life on the rock. She describes every detail of the Everglades so concisely that I felt that I could actually be standing there, envisioning what she was writing. It is evident from the beauty in her descriptions that she loves the Everglades. Among all of this description was a lesson on how it all started, and where it has come today--from the grass to the water, she talks about its journey. She talks about the rains, and winds, and how the affect the flow of the water throughout the Everglades; she critically analyzes breezes and currents as though it all tells some sort of story. You can learn a ton about the Everglades from this single, 24 page, article.
