Answer:

Technically, yes it is a crime. Despite it being tradition, the people are committing homicide. The book also takes place in rural America where homicide was declared illegal in the 1700s. Had the situation occurred elsewhere in the world, it might not be a crime. From a more complex standpoint, actually convicting people would be difficult as many people took part, but it is nonetheless a crime altogether.

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.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!

Answer: I feel that in our generation there will be new inventions and much more modern day technology. I can imagine closets that will have ready made outfits for you as you are waking up. Our century has grown so much and I can imagine people not getting out of their houses because of it. Technology has both a negative and positive side. Positive because it helps us to do less work, and negative because... is doing less work really worth putting our physical health, mental well being and social skills at risk? It’s both harder and easier to make friends and actually be in a good state of mind if you’re using technology too much or watching a screen 24/7. I forsee that the future for my generation will become lazy and less active, which is negative in my eyes.

(If you copy my answer word for word, it’s okay :) I don’t mind )
