Tile 1. TRANQUIL DILIGENCE
"And busily all the night · Had been heaping field and highway · With a silence deep and white"... The line, "And busily all the night" connotes diligence while the line "silence deep and white" lends evidence to a tranquil setting. Thus making tranquil diligence the mood that this excerpt evokes. 


Tile 2. EXQUISITE BEAUTY
"Every pine and fir and hammock · Wore ermine too dear for an earl · And the poorest twig on the elm-tree · Was ridged inch deep with pearl"... The mood that is evoked by this excerpt is exquisite beauty because the writer, James Russel Lowell depicts images of nature with descriptions that produce a sense of awe in the beauty of nature.


Tile 3. POWERFUL TURBULENCE
"Enwrapp'd in tempest and a night of storms · Astonish'd ocean feels the wild uproar"... The thoughts of "storms" and "wild uproar" in themselves are pictures of powerful turbulence. As a matter of fact, the word, "Turbulence" is defined as the violent movement of air or water, a phenomenon which is typical of a storm. 


Tile 4. LAVISH AFFLUENCE
"From splendid domes of first degree · Where ladies meet to sip their tea"... It is quite apparent that lavish affluence is evoked by this excerpt. The first line, "From splendid domes of first degree" evokes a sense of grandeur in the reader, while the second line, "Where ladies meet to sip their tea" creates an image of a group of women with high standing and wealth, thus evoking a sense of affluence.

And the poorest twig on the elm-tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl"
The First Snowfall" by James Russel Lowell 
= d - exquisite beauty 
The image that is painted is extreme loveliness because of the snow. The trees seem to wear very expensive coats or "ermine" that even an "earl" or a nobleman cannot afford its price. Each ordinary and small parts such as a "twig" looks so special because they are decorated with pearly drops of snow as if they are real pearls. The image suggests feelings of awe and joy.

Read the excerpt from "Optimism Within" by Helen Keller. Then, make a claim about the author’s purpose for writing the text. Sup
Alex787 [66]

I inferred you are referring to this excerpt from the text;

"Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession. Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they could be! Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life, — if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing."

<u>Explanation</u>:

The author here uses her personal experience of been deaf-blind to assert that an individual's happiness is not dependent on his or her circumstances. Helen says "I who cannot hear or see...I am happy in spite of my deprivations if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life."

We notice her use of convincing language such as when she says "my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing", this language gives her message a convincing feel.
