ARCHIVE - Visualizing Ecology - A Year in Paradise http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/taxonomy/term/16/0 en ARCHIVE - chelsea howe http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/chelsea-howe-3 <p>This book made me so excited for our trip to mt. rainier.I  am with much delight that we read this book as a foregoing of our adventure.  i  think now I am more prepared and clued in as to what to expect.  Winter seems rough in the mountains of washington.  Well, we arent going in the winter so its ok but i am impressed by floyd and ruth&#39;s ruggedness in the cold and tiring conditions.  I like how when floyd wrote he included ruth alot.  it made it a little more sentimental without making it a cheesy love story.  By including things like how ruth was also feeling or what she was doing or just their interactions and the way they communicated, the book became more inspiring for me to read.  if it was just about floyd and his adventures, the book may have seemed to be more just about him, which might make it harder to read.  The way he wrote it, with ruth and other people in mind, the story seemed to have more meaning.</p> <p><a href="http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/chelsea-howe-3">read more</a></p> http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/chelsea-howe-3#comment A Year in Paradise Sun, 15 Oct 2006 16:23:47 -0700 howche15 309 at http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall
