All the same, when I came to the Place of the Gods, I was
afraid, afraid. The current of the great river is very strong
-it gripped my raft with its hands. That was magic, for
the river itself is wide and calm. I could feel evil spirits
about me, I was swept down the stream. Never have I
been so much alone-I tried to think of my knowledge,
but it was a squirrel's heap of winter nuts. There was no
strength in my knowledge any more and I felt small and
naked as a new-hatched bird-alone upon the great river,
the servant of the gods.
-"By the Waters of Babylon,"
Stephen Vincent Benet

Usually, when people talk about "rocky” relationships, it’s with a frown, but mine has enriched my life. i became fascinated with rocks when i was really young, and throughout my childhood you could usually find me with my pockets bulging from whatever stony treasures i’d scavenged that day. when my science teacher taught us a unit on geology, i realized that my fascination could become an exciting career that could also me make good money. obtaining an internship to work on the geological exhibit at the museum is an important step on my road to being a geologist. the best description of the writer’s point of view is that the person is eager to make a lot of money in a museum internship. insistent that geology should be taught as part of every science course. hopeful to be able to further the goal of eventually becoming a geologist. concerned that people do not generally relate well to the study of geology.
