Writers organize their writings to make an impact on their readers. In Muir's writing about the Calypso Borealis, he places oppo

sing views of his journey close together. Read the following paragraph and explain the opposite views present in the paragraph. What impact does Muir make when he places these opposite views close together?
How long I sat beside Calypso I don't know. Hunger 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."

<span> Muir starts off talking about how long he had been sitting by the Calypso-so long that he wasn't tired or hungry anymore. We, as the readers, think he has a bad attitude about sitting by this plant.
</span><span>We think this because it seems like he is describing his wait as painful(he is WAY past being tired or hungry). However, the next sentence contrasts with this idea. When the sun sets, Muir suddenly gets this jolt of purpose and energy, stronger and determined than ever before. Can you see the pattern here? As for the dialogue, it is a woman speaking, and she lives in the log house he sees. She has a negative attitude towards the swamp, while Muir has a positive one. She wonders why he would want to be in a dangerous place like the swamp, explaining that a body was found in it. She then goes on to say that it was God's mercy that Muir was able to get out of the mucky swamp.
I hope this helps!</span>

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

'The mercenaries fought for as long as they were paid, not just the 40 days a year that knights fought.'

Explanation:

This supports the statement that hired soldiers would fight for longer than knights would. They had motivation which was currency in exchange for their participation in battle/war. The knights on the other hand were only required a certain amount of days. It was not stated whether they were paid or not, but I can assume that they were not which would make one--specifically--a knight reluctant to go to battle. Therefore, hired soldiers did the work the knights were reluctant to do.

How do you assemble a graduation announcement? I just got my graduation announcements, invitations, and thank you cards today in
In-s [12.5K]

The invitations are for everyone (mostly relatives and close friends) that will be able to join you in your graduation and will have reserved seats during the ceremony itself. On the other, the announcements are given to those who require more time to prepare for your graduation – they may be the ones living far away from you and/or those whom you see rarely because of their tight schedule.

The larger envelopes are used to contain your smaller envelopes. The larger ones are the ones used for mailing purposes and for formality. The smaller envelopes are the ones that hold your announcement and other important details for your graduation, they usually are more intimately labelled “For Dad”, “Nana”, etc. Your seal should be placed in the smaller envelope. Moreover, your clear sheets can be cut so they will fit your invitation. You can scribble on them or you may use them as decorative purposes. Just make sure that all the necessary details are put in the clear sheets if ever you plan to write on them. 

Lastly, you should send your “Thank You” notes to those who attended and congratulated you on your event. Priority should be given to those who attended and then to those who exerted effort for your special day, respectively.
