Answer:
The tone of the passage is hopeful and idyllic. It starts with a seemingly bad situation, which is reflected by the words "bewildering" and "discouraging," but then describes a good turn of events, as Calypso is found on a stream, usually a nice location. Words phrases such as "bed of yellow mosses," "small white bulb," and "soft nest" all help depict a dream-like situation, far from the initial one.
With the change proposed, the tone would become grim and unhopeful, mostly due to the phrases "puddle of gray algae," "insignificant bleached bulb," and "tangle of twigs," all of which depict the same image in a way that makes it look like a dire place to be.
Explanation:
The words in bold are: "bed of yellow mosses in which its small white bulb had found a soft nest."
A bed of yellow mosses is more appealing and inviting than a puddle of gray algae. While a small white bulb sounds adorable, an insignificant bleached bulb is a sad image. And a soft nest is likely to be more comfortable than a tangle of twigs.
To most of my research so far, it is the visual of speech sounds. When you look through a dictionary, you'll usually see these things under the main word you're looking for.
For example, you take a word like "Seahorse". You have the word type, and below the word type, you see some fancy looking text.
I will bold this mini dictionary bit for you to show you what we're focusing on.
Seahorse
Noun
/ˈsēhôrs/
The text in bold here is what you're looking for when you want to find the "Phonetic Transcription." Hope this helps!
