However it is talking about the difference between people in the world. Which is a good thing not all people are the same whihs makes the world a more interesting place.

When we look at the surface of a human body, man or woman, it's really quite remarkable -- full of bumps and curves and wrinkles and hair and indentations and toe nails and arm pits -- the geography of the body is astounding, if we just stop to notice and catalogue the small details.

I like how he talks about the physical differences being so great, but the ones inside being so much greater. thats about where i stop understanding.

I think maybe he is talking about how different everyone is. Surface could mean what he sees on the outside. He wonders, "if the surfaces on the outside are so variegated and extensive, what must their inside be?" I think he is saying that if their outside is so great then what must their inside be?

I understand that this quote is talking about the differences between men and women not only on the surface but on the inside as well. Men and women behave and react differently to certain situations. However, I don't really understand what it is talking about with the Platte River and the plains covered with soda.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686822200393942241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609830.post-951841867902646682008-03-13T17:14:00.000+00:002008-03-13T17:14:00.000+00:00this blog to me is saying that everyone is differn...this blog to me is saying that everyone is differnt and that is why this world is so great.
