Read the following passage from Muir's "Calypso Borealis" and respond to the prompt. [5] How long I sat beside Calypso I don't k

now. 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." [6] Oftentimes I had to sleep without blankets, and sometimes without supper, but usually I had no great difficulty in finding a loaf of bread here and there at the houses of the farmer settlers in the widely scattered clearings. With one of these large backwoods loaves I was able to wander many a long wild fertile mile in the forests and bogs, free as the winds, gathering plants, and glorying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread. Storms, thunderclouds, winds in the woods—were welcomed as friends. How do authors communicate their tone in a piece of writing? Identify the tone (or tones) of this passage.

Personal narrative writing about a sad experience you had (trouble) and how did you feel about it.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

It amazes me how we may take others for granted. We didn't consider it. What would life be without them? We merely planned for tomorrow. Don't second guess how quickly such plans might vanish. No way! I considered it.

I awoke early one morning for school. I was ecstatic because my first pep rally was in middle school. We had to wear red and white to school. School spirit. I had ironed my clothing the night before. I've never done it. But on this particular school day, I wanted everything to be flawless. perfect. I was ready for school by 7 a.m., and school started two hours later.

I waited anxiously for my mother to call, and she eventually did. I believed she was taking me to school. As we went along, I realized my mother wasn't taking me to school as usual. I eventually saw we were near my godmother's. "I mistook you for a school bus," I remarked, seeing it was 7:45 a.m. My mother was silent. She just stopped the car and walked inside. I trailed behind. My family was gathering at my living room window for my grandmother's lounge. I sensed something was wrong right away. Only when you can plan a funeral for my complete family.

"Why don't you go sit with your cousins?" Mom said. I sat there. His pain-filled gaze scanned the room. I sat back, feeling the My throat was getting lumpy, and my tears were starting to burn my eyelids. No one needed to speak up! Everyone's wounded looks told me all I needed to know. I felt sad. If I was paralyzed, my throat would have closed. I couldn't see that. The person I most adored, apart from my mother, would be gone.

The funeral was a week later. My life's longest day. I feared it. I watched the casket descend. I heard family and friends murmur. "It'll be OK in time." I thought, "Why can't things be okay? She never is. I'm back! No! " The next few months were busy. My family suffered greatly. My godmother died. Sure, our family has lost numerous members. But no. One who was very close to us. Sure, many members of our family have died, but their fatalities were fewer.

My godmother shaped my life. I know if she saw me, she'd be proud today. I pause and think if she was proud? Will she agree? "I do my best to be close to my family. because you never know when someone's last day will be.
