Read the following paragraph from John Muir's "The Calypso Borealis" and pay close attention to the words in bold. In one paragr

aph of three to five sentences, explain Muir's use of diction and the mood his choice of words creates. Use proper spelling and grammar in your response. The rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants I discovered on this first grand excursion was Calypso borealis (the Hider of the North). I had been fording streams more and more difficult to cross and wading bogs and swamps that seemed more and more extensive and more difficult to force one's way through. Entering one of these great tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps one morning, holding a general though very crooked course by compass, struggling through tangled drooping branches and over and under broad heaps of fallen trees, I began to fear that I would not be able to reach dry ground before dark, and therefore would have to pass the night in the swamp and began, faint and hungry, to plan a nest of branches on one of the largest trees or windfalls like a monkey's nest, or eagle's, or Indian's in the flooded forests of the Orinoco described by Humboldt.

The mood that these words help create is one of despair and difficulty. Clearly the narrator is struggling, he actually uses the words "difficult" and "struggling" clearly within his paragraph. Other words that contribute to this mood of despair are "fear", "faint", and "hungry". A person usually only feels these things and discusses them when they are in a place that is dangerous and that they have no real hope of getting out of.

Foster suggests that there is a "language of reading" made up of a "set of conventions, patterns,codes, and rules that we learn
Triss [41]

Answer:

"Same way you get to Carnegie Hall. Practice."

Explanation:

For Foster, the language of reading is an essential skill for any student, as it allows them to have a high level of learning, in addition to having a full understanding of texts, contexts, training, concepts and other forms of language, textuality and communication. However, he affirms that this is not an easy skill to obtain, due to its complexity, but it is not impossible to reach it, just as it is not impossible to reach Carnegie Hall, as long as the student practices countless times and encourages this knowledge and skill, until he or she reaches a satisfactory level of understanding.
