(Due Tuesday, November 17, 2015)

After discussing Mark Twain's Two Views of the River, you should have a working understanding of his purpose for writing the piece, his intended audience, and the strategies he uses to convey his message/knowledge.  Review your notes and think back to our class discussions.  Then answer the following question: What is Mark Twain's purpose for writing this piece?  Since you should already be familiar with the content of the question, the purpose of this post is for you to practice writing an A.P.-level paragraph that is WELL-FORMULATED and DEVELOPED.  Your paragraph response should include at least two direct quotations, properly MLA formatted.  Be prepared to share your paragraph with the class and have it critiqued.
