Answer:

Muir views nature as a place of freedom, exploration, and adventure.

He describes his first botanizing excursion as a moment of "glorious freedom" in which he can explore its beauty. His use of words reflect that feeling even when he´s talking about the hardships of the experience:

Explanation:

The description of the difficulty when fording streams and wading swamps reflects a sense of adventure more than one of despair.

Then, there´s a bad situation, which is indicated by words such as "bewildering" and "discouraging," but then he describes the Calypso found on a stream, usually a nice location, and phrases such as "bed of yellow mosses," "small white bulb," and "soft nest" all represent a nice situation.

He wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say: "I never loved you." After she had obliterated four year

solmaris [256]

Answer:

This passage is from chapter 6 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby", where Nick believes Jay Gatsby's dream of getting Daisy back after all the years is ending.

Explanation:

In Chapter 6 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway narrates how Jay Gatsby had wanted to get back with his former lover Daisy. But Daisy had already married Tom Buchanan, who Jay despises.

Tom and Daisy had come to Gatsby's house to party and Tom had decided to follow Daisy just to keep an eye on Gatsby. After the party got over and everyone has left, Gatsby exclaimed to Nick that Daisy is different, that "she doesn't understand". When asked further, Nick realizes that Jay wanted Daisy to leave her husband and come to him. He wanted her to "obliterate the four years" she's married to Tom, and "go back to Louisville and be married from her house—just as if it were five years ago". For Gatsby's part, it sounded a bit greedy, expecting her to act how he wanted things to be.

Madly in love with her, he wanted to get back with her on his terms, not thinking of what the others will feel. This, Nick feels, is the blatant end of Gatsby's dream which was to get Daisy back. This is his version of truth, Daisy telling Tom "I never loved you" and go to Jay, while the truth was that it was just a dream, wishful thinking. Unable to see past his own fantasies and wants, he believes and want/ expect Daisy to return to him.
