What does Muir accomplish in Paragraph 2?

English
1 answer:
Jet001 [13]3 years ago
5 0

<span>Muir was able to show how difficult and dangerous it was to find the “rarest and most beautiful” Calyoso borealis which is also known as the Hider of the North. He showed by descriptive images that he had to go through endless swamps for several hours, not knowing whether he would be able to find a dry land that day. Even if he had a compass with him, he was uncertain about his path; thus, the more challenging the experience was, the more valuable the flower was being elevated. By its name, Hider of the North, Muir was able to prove by his description that the flower was indeed hidden from normal human view. If you want to find it, you must seek for it like a precious jewel among the unfriendly and misleading wetlands, ready to spend long arduous efforts by hands and feet. His success in discovering Calyoso borealis is an example of receiving a great reward after so much struggle and ordeal – a real taste of sweet victory. </span>

Read this excerpt from Ani's evaluation of Dan DeLuca's argument in his article "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics
timurjin [86]

Ani analyses how "DeLuca's haphazard patchwork of reasoning and evidence leaves the reader wondering whether he believes his own claim".  According to Ani he quotes not only supporters of the Nobel price committee but also detractors. He includes a sampling of Dylan's lyrics and leaves them to speak for themselves.

The evidence (quotes) from the article that best supports Ani's evaluation are:

1. "And it’s a good thing [his lyrics] have been published, because if you’ve gone to see the famously sneering and syllable-garbling Dylan play live in recent years, you probably couldn’t understand a word he was singing."  

We could interpret this quote as contradictory, it is not necessarily for or against Dylan's Nobel Price. You could say he is confusing his readers, he seems to be against the sung lyrics and for the published ones.  

2. "On one end of Dylan's songwriting spectrum is the vengeful, resolute, and timeless 'Masters Of War' . . . . It’s high dudgeon at its finest: ‘Let me ask you one question: Is your money that good? / Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could?"

Ani also says that he does a sampling of the lyrics and allows them to speak for themselves.  This excerpt shows part of a lyric from the song "Masters of War".  He is not necessarily saying its a "good" or "bad" lyric, he describes it as: "vengeful, resolute, and timeless" the reader must decide about its quality or if it is the kind of work that deserves a Nobel Price.

Help please, hurry
kow [346]

Answer: 1.  Liszt focuses on history and geography, neither of which is very interesting to Bruno, but the tutor insists that he learn about "The Fatherland." He wanted him to get his head out of storybooks and into real history.

2. The house would have to be cleaned from top to bottom, the windows washed, the dining-room table stained and varnished, the food ordered, the maid's and butler's uniforms washed and pressed, and the crockery and glasses polished until they sparkled.

3. One day, Bruno goes outside and reads the plaque on the bench near the garden: "Presented on the occasion of the opening of Auschwitz Camp, June nineteen forty" (9.523).

4. Bruno will explore everything that he's been looking at through his window. The woods that lead to the camp with the tall fence, smoke stacks, and people in the striped pajamas.

Which of the following demonstrates effective embedding of quotations?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

<u>3. Simon's early assertion that he does not "believe in the beast", (Golding, 105)  makes his confrontation with it more ironic.</u>

Explanation:

We may well wonder: <em>what is an embedded quotation?</em>

Put simply, it involves skillfully making reference to what someone else said in a way that matches the idea you intend to present.

In the example above, the writer's idea or viewpoint is beautifully presented by making reference to what Simon said earlier. By smoothly adding that quotation (|"believe in the past"), the reader can thus relate to the idea passed by the writer.
