A First American Views His Land

Look at the transitions between paragraphs or between sections. How does he or she make these transitions? What effect do they have on the forward momentum of the piece?

I feel like the transition in this piece were done o.k.. I felt in some places that I would have no idea where she was coming from and how she got there. I dont think they were effective enough in the transitions. I dont think it good to be as choppy as this piece may be. I think Momaday could have done a better job but it wasnt horrible.

  1. I agree with you that it was choppy. And although it might not have been a horrible job, it's one writing that doesn't stay in mind. Honestly speaking, I've already forgotten the whole essay.
