explanation below

Explanation:

John Barry, in his writing, tried to communicate to his readers, the fascination he had with Mississippi Rivers. He looked at the rivers in general in the first paragraph, and he clearly stated that rivers are so complex and mindboggling. In the second paragraph, he uses internal dynamics and some of the key factors that account for the complexities of rivers and make them worthy of admiration

By the middle of the passage, he tried to say that Mississippi river was alive and could not be controlled and dictated its own path.  

by the last paragraph, Barry was of the view that the Mississippi river ran back and forth, curving like an “S”.

Even though his writing style was not uniform, he tried to let his readers know the great power of the Mississippi.

if you want to make an A take what the guy above me used as a base and re read over the article and add what rhetorical devices he used in the story .

an example would be in the story he used an analogy alot because he compared the river to many different things .
