The essay "The Will of a River" by Alfredo Q. Gonzales, talks about a man with a friend and his son walking the course of a river. He notices as they walk that at one point the river can't be seen... it has gone underground or something, because no matter where he looks at that point, it is undetectable. In other places, the river seemed small or weak, but he knew that farther down, closer to the ocean it was strong and flowing.
He likens the river to our lives, comparing the river's dedication to get to the ocean to our dedication as we encounter obstacles in our lives. Like rivers, our goals should be to continue and live for the rest of creation. A river's strength and determination would be less if their source were not the high and lofty mountains, and we would be less if our source and power did not also come from on high (read: God).
My favorite quotation from the essay is "These resolute and sublime souls all reminded me of what our river taught me-that if we cannot overcome obstacles, we can undercome them." Here, Alfredo is saying that sometimes we can't face obstacles head on, but like the river, if we have determination to reach our goals, we can flow around or under our obstacles instead... finding a way, even in the toughest times.

∙ 8y agoWikiAnswers will not write your essay for you - cheating is wrong and you can be expelled for doing it. We WILL help you learn how to write your own essays, though.
First, write down everything you know about the subject - this is where you do your homework and actually look up information.
Now, make each line you've written into a complete sentence and put them into some sort of logical order. Pretend you're explaining this to a friend and add enough extra information to explain each line. Make each line and explanation into one paragraph.
Add an introduction at the beginning to explain what the essay is about, and a conclusion at the end to summarize the main points - and there's your essay!
