There were forerunners before Martin Luther. Men like Jan Huss, Savanarola and Erasmus were among the first to question the teachings of the Catholic Church. However it was Luther who led the first successful break from Rome. He did not do it on his own because he had the support of German nobles who liked what he preached.

PLLSSS HELPP!! Read the following paragraph from John Muir's "The Calypso Borealis" and pay close attention to the words in bold

Anton [14]

Muir's use of diction in this paragraph, clearly shows how effective his language. The bolded words, like difficult, force, crooked, struggling, etc. create a tense, painful, and frustrating mood. Muir uses these words describe how his journey was through the wading bogs, and swamps and he uses these words to describe what he went through before finding the Calypso Borealis.
