The Mountain
  • Gaby August 2011
    "The mountain's a thousand miles long and three thousand miles wide, and all a mans go to do is wait until the sun warms the mountain and then scoop the gold into buckets."
    pg.7

    I chose this passage because I enjoyed the author's way of describing the golden mountain. This passage says that when the sun beams down upon the mountain it creates gold for the workers to pick up and put into buckets. You can imagine in your mind how the gold would look upon the mountain and how exciting it was for the men.
