How does the poem's structure create a sense of urgency? Each stanza contrasts the energy of the river with the dullsameness of the lake, inlet, and
ocean
The descriptions in each stanza progress from the calm of the lake and inlet to the tumult of
the ocean.
Each stanza relays the river's journey through the lake, inlet, and ocean and ends with its
return to the same mountain home from which it began.
The descriptions in each stanza reveal the river's desire to escape the confinement of the lake
and inlet and to reach the freedom of the ocean.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
