The point of view used in the excerpt is the Limited Omniscient. Limited omniscient or the third person point of view happens when a narrator of high knowledge focuses on a single character to discuss rather than the general. The choice of character to be focused is not weighted by importance in the story but what the narrator needs to discuss.

The point of view that is used in the excerpt is third person point of view. The only thing you should remember to distinguish this form of storytelling is that author uses pronouns like ‘he/she/it’ a lot. So the things are usually described as if they are observed by the author. In this case, it is omniscient third point of view as you can see in this excerpt that author also knows the feelings and inner thoughts of characters.

The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.

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.
