Rainy Mountain (question #1)

As we all should already know that any introduction in any writing should reveal the topic and introduce it to the reader. When reading the first paragraph of "The Way to Rainy Mountain," he makes it very clear as to what the reading is about. Regardless of what else he might specifically talk about in his writing, it all points back and relates to Rainy Mountain.

The introduction was very good and gave a great description of Rainy Mountain. When reading it I almost felt as if I was in a car riding through rainy mountain noticing every little detail about the place as the seasons changed right before me. It was a very descriptive introduction. I thought a great example of this descriptive writing was "there is no confusion of objects in the eye, but one hill or one tree or one man." Through out the whole first paragraph there was an image of Rainy Mountain in my head. He used a method of describing to introduce the reader to Rainy Mountain and personally think he did a great job of it.
