Hi There!
Question:
In a naturalistic story, the reader often leans specialized knowledge about the scientific subject. What pieces of specialized knowledge do these lines include?
Poem:
"Arctic winter—but he knew also that there were springs that bubbled
out from the hillsides and ran along under the snow and on top of
the ice of the creek. He knew that the coldest snaps never froze these
springs, and he knew likewise their danger. They were traps. They
hid pools of water under the snow that might be three inches deep, or
three feet. Sometimes a skin of ice half an inch thick covered them,
and in turn was covered by the snow. Sometimes there were alternate
layers of water and ice skin, so that when one broke through he kept on"
Answer:
