A Review of Life on the Mississippi
By Garo Kerdelian | Staff Writer
If we are to take away a lesson from Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain, let it be this: time inevitably goes on, and Twain’s simple and light-hearted approach to things is one everyone should adopt from time to time. In times of constant change, we can all learn from the steamboat pilots who braved the Mississippi – that “great father of Waters” – and be confident in our knowledge and experience, develop good judgment, memory, and decision, and go out into the great unknown with a courage that no peril can shake.
