Read the excerpt from Muir's essay "Calypso Borealis" and answer the question. [5] How long I sat beside Calypso I don't know. H

unger and weariness vanished, and only after the sun was low in the west I splashed on through the swamp, strong and exhilarated as if never more to feel any mortal care. At length I saw maple woods on a hill and found a log house. I was gladly received. "Where ha ye come fra? The swamp, that awfu' swamp. What were ye doin' there?" etc. "Mony a puir body has been lost in that muckle, cauld, dreary bog and never been found." When I told her I had entered it in search of plants and had been in it all day, she wondered how plants could draw me to these awful places, and said, "It's god's mercy ye ever got out." Examine the details Muir includes in this paragraph. Which statement accurately explains how Muir's response to nature compares to the log house owner's response? He is enthusiastic and in awe while she is doubtful and fearful. Muir cautiously admires whereas the lady shows religious dedication. The lady is more interested in the bog while Muir is fascinated by plants. They both admire nature—its intense dangers and its true treasures.

He is enthusiastic and in awe while she is doubtful and fearful.

In the passage he says that he felt "strong and exhilarated" while he explored the swamp. The women, however, talks about how people have gone missing in the bog and she's surprised he ever made it out. It also says that the woman doesn't understand "how plants could draw [him] to these awful places". Because the woman doesn't understand his fascination with the bog, it's clear that she isn't interested in the bog and doesn't admire its intense dangers and true treasures.

What sets Po, the hero of Kung Fu Panda, apart from the traditional archetypal hero? Include examples from the reading to suppor
ANEK [815]
(Since I don't know the examples from the reading you'll have to add those)
Po, unlike my archetyple heroes, is clumsy and chubby. Most heroes are either very intelligent or strong but Po is made out to be neither. Po is shown falling down stairs, having a hard time edging around tight spaces, and patting his huge stomach and making it jiggle. He gets winded after a long walk but ends up training in kunfu and beating the villian.
