Cædmon is the earliest English poet whose name is known. An Anglo-Saxon who cared for the animals at the double monastery of Streonæshalch during the abbacy of St. Hilda , he was originally ignorant of "the art of song" but learned to compose one night in the course of a dream, according to the 8th-century historian Bede. He later became a zealous monk and an accomplished and inspirational Christian poet.

Caedmon was a cowherd who later became a monk. The excerpt describes him as someone who was once lost and then was found. He did not know he had the gift of song until a miracle made him believe that he did.

What is the mood on Isabel's boat? How does the author create that mood? Support your answer with textual evidence.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The mood is one of tension and fear.

Explanation:

Hello. You did not enter the text to which your question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching, I managed to find a question like yours and I noticed that you forgot to say that the question refers to the book "Refugee" written by Alan Gratz.

"Refugee" tells the story of three children who try to leave their countries and become refugees with their families. The first child is a Jewish boy who is fleeing German Nazism, the second child is a Cuban girl who is fleeing the oppressive government of Fidel Castro in Cuba and the third child is a boy who is fleeing Syria's instability and violence.

The girl who is fleeing Cuba is called Isabel and she is trying to escape Cuba with her family using a boat, to get to New York. The mood at that moment in history is one of tension and fear, because during the flight two Cuban soldiers deserte and get into Isabel's boat. The other soldiers start firing to prevent escape and the boat is hit by one of the shots and begins to sink. At that moment, the author shows all the fear and despair of Isabel's family. They are afraid of being hit by the gunshots, of failing to reach their destination, of returning to Cuba and being arrested and of drowning.

The literary mood is the atmosphere and sensation that the author wants the reader to feel at the moment of reading, allowing the reader to have an emotional experience similar to the characters.
