EMIRI HASHIMOTO #11/13

" She turned to the right and followed the river, inside her dream of enchantment at last. The sun glanced off the surface of the water in a thousand thousand sparks of light, and the ferns dripped tiny droplets, and dragonflies hovered with rainbow-mica wings, and brilliant parrots wheeled from the trees of one bank to the trees of the other."

Sometimes i want to go to the river to calm down and refresh my mind when i am stressed out. In this chapter, Missy was thinking about John Smith and decided to go to his property. When she walked into the forest she saw a path that have been made by animals, heard trees talking and sound of water . She was impressed how beautiful the nature is, especially the river. I understand how Missy felt when she saw the river. An hour from my house, there are a lot of mountains and heritage parks where there's gorgeous lakes, river and etc.. Nature gives me a power when i'm depressed and when you are upset, it makes you calm down and forget about everything . I chose this picture because this reminds me one of the famous park in Japan.
