Why does the author call Richard Brune’s method “less destructive” than actually knocking over rocks (line 193)? *

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Richard found less destructive ways to pull on rocks. He used a camera to take photographs from all sides of refrigerator-sized boulder.

Explanation:

In California, Richard wanted to discover how hard balanced rocks are to knock over. He used a steel cable and a gadget to measure exactly how much pulling was needed to bring down the boulder. Richard found less destructive ways to pull on rocks. He used a camera to take photographs from all sides of the refrigerator-sized boulder.

Then he used the computer to stitch the pictures into a three-dimensional model of the rock. Using this virtual rock, he concluded that the real rock would stay standing for another 18,000 years.

So, the author calls Richard Brune’s method “less destructive” than actually knocking over rocks.

"While my hair was still cut straight across my

forehead

I played about the front gate, pulling flowers.

You came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse,

You walked about my seat, playing with blue

plums.

And we went on living in the village of Chokan:

Two small people, without dislike or suspicion."

The first stanza of "The River Merchant's Wife" emphasizes youth, nature, and playing between children. The verb "play" is repeated three times, and she mentions "flowers" and "blue plums." There is harmony between the presence of "I" and "you."

"While my hair was still cut straight across my

forehead

The use of the word "while" and the image of her haircut as a child shows us the recollection of when they first met, before they were to marry.

And we went on living in the village of Chokan:

Two small people, without dislike or suspicion."

The "You" and "I" merge at the end of the first stanza, forming a "we"
