Answer:

Annie Dillard read the book 'The Field Book of Ponds and Streams' so many times as she found what she herself did not know she was looking for, the essential tools for naturalist trade.

Explanation:

"An American Childhood" is a memoir of Annie Billard. She wrote about her childhood and her high school days in the book.

In her book, she conveyed the message that how books help people to connect with each other emotionally as well as mentally. As Annie was an earnest reader, so when she was twelve years old, she enrolled herself in the nearest library, in Homewood. In that library, she found the book titled "The Field Book of Ponds and Streams."

She states that she read it several times especially chapter 3 of the book, which explains the essential tools for naturalist trade. Till she read that chapter, she herself was unaware of what she was looking for. The book unveiled to her many words of water and the life of insects.

She used to read the book every year and used to go through the list of names of people who borrowed that book to know that there are other people like her who are eager to find out about the 'ponds' and 'streams.'

This is a very personal question. Therefore, no one can answer it except for you. However, I can provide an example of something that makes me excited about learning, and this can serve as a guide for your own answer.

One experience that makes me genuinely excited about learning is hearing about other people's success stories. For example, when authors, scientists, astronauts and other talented and knowledgeable people talk about their careers, I am often inspired by their stories. Most of the time, these stories relate to their knowledge, and the importance of knowledge in encouraging personal growth. This makes me genuinely excited about learning because it encourages me to think that I too can achieve the things these people have achieved.

Can someone please write a short story using at least five sentances.

Georgia [21]

I am so sorry right now I can't think of anything however I can give you tips to writing one!!!! When you write a really short story the easiest way in my option is to add semi-colons. Also, make sure to include a who, what, when, where, and how in each sentence to make the story contain more information. Also if you want you can end in a cliff-hanger which makes you be able to not write as much. Your teacher is probably looking for you to have a conflict so make sure to include a problem in your story!!! I really hope this helps!!! Good luck I am sure you story will end up being AWESOME!!!! :)
