We write and speak in three different 'persons' . . .
Let's say I'm telling you something about Sam.
I'm the first person. You're the second person. Sam is the third person.
First Person: I, we, us
Second Person: You, you-all
Third Person: He, she, it, they, them
So there are three different ways to write or tell the same story.
Most stories that you read are written either in the First person or the Third person.
<u>"First-person narrative" is a story being told by the person it's about</u>.
"I'm Al. I got up in the morning. Then I got dressed, I went to the store, and bought milk."
"Third-person narrative is a story being told about somebody.
"Sam got up in the morning. Then he got dressed, he went to the store, and he got milk."
I saved "Second-person narrative" for last, because it's not used very often
and so it sounds weird. But there ARE whole books written in Second-person:
"Your name is Johhny Schlaffgut. You went to bed early last night because
yesterday was a tough day at the office and you were tired. But this morning
you felt OK. You woke up, you got dressed, and you went to the store for milk."
It’s not d or a took that test
Answer:
"Most bewildering," "small white bulb"
Explanation:
I found the answer by using answer elimination. For "most bewildering," we can see that Muir is questioning the flower and looking at it carefully. This is a step of the scientific method, asking questions and making observations.
As for "bed of yellow mosses," I found this to be written in a more poetic way. This is a metaphor, saying the moss is a 'bed of moss.' There is definitely nothing scientific about that observation.
"Small white bulb" is descriptive. There is nothing fancy or exciting about that phrase, it is simply describing it the way it is, much as a scientist would. It sounds to me like a passage from a book on botany.
When I read "utmost simple purity," I found this as a somewhat religious observation. If not, it would surely be a poetic attempt, to romanticize the flower.
"Cried for joy" would not be a scientific observation. Never have I heard a researcher state that they cried for joy upon realizing that the effects of too much caffeine cause hallucinations. This would be a distraction from the study and has no place except in a seperate interview.
Hope this helps!
