HELP ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST: Read the following passage from Muir's "Calypso Borealis" and respond to the prompt.
[2] The rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants I discovered on this first grand excursion was Calypso borealis (the Hider of the North). I had been fording streams more and more difficult to cross and wading bogs and swamps that seemed more and more extensive and more difficult to force one's way through. Entering one of these great tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps one morning, holding a general though very crooked course by compass, struggling through tangled drooping branches and over and under broad heaps of fallen trees, I began to fear that I would not be able to reach dry ground before dark, and therefore would have to pass the night in the swamp and began, faint and hungry, to plan a nest of branches on one of the largest trees or windfalls like a monkey's nest, or eagle's, or Indian's in the flooded forests of the Orinoco described by Humboldt.
[3] But when the sun was getting low and everything seemed most bewildering and discouraging, I found beautiful Calypso on the mossy bank of a stream, growing not in the ground but on a bed of yellow mosses in which its small white bulb had found a soft nest and from which its one leaf and one flower sprung. The flower was white and made the impression of the utmost simple purity like a snowflower. No other bloom was near it, for the bog a short distance below the surface was still frozen, and the water was ice cold. It seemed the most spiritual of all the flower people I had ever met. I sat down beside it and fairly cried for joy.
How do authors communicate their tone in a piece of writing? Identify the tone (or tones) of this passage. Explain how the tone(s) is created, providing at least two examples from the passage and explaining how each contributes specifically to the tone(s) you identified. Your response should be a paragraph of 5–7 sentences.
Answer: (YOU PROMISED BRAINLIEST!!!)
The words he has chosen which are "difficult, force, crooked, struggling, tangled, fallen, fear, faint, and hungry", shows that he is going through quite a scary and tricky time, but it was hard for him to pass that swamp, and you can see he chose excellent words on how his journey was like. Plus the words " struggling, fear, and hungry", shows what difficulty he is going through and you as the reader imagine yourself in that position and you would feel it all scary on how he is experiencing it.

Explanation:
Why do you think the narrator tries to force the quiet girl to speak? Explain what conflicts could lead her to this action. Support your ideas with details from the selection.
Answer:
I believe the narrator tries to force the quiet girl to speak because he wants to know things she is the only one that knows them. And to stop the abuse she goes through.
The reasons behind the protagonist forcing her are that she doesn't understand why she just doesn't talk to stop the bullying because she puts herself in the quiet girls' shoes but can't understand why she doesn't speak. So she forces her.
Explanation:
The reason behind this answer is that in the first place, the narrator tries to make speak because there is a mystery behind her wish of not speaking and because she is getting bullied by it. So the main character forces her to speak. Then, these are the same ideas that explain the conflict the protagonists go trough because she can't understand why the quite girl keeps doing it even when its the cause of her being bullied.
Read the excerpt from Blanca Flor.
The Narrator. Juanito took the thimble and started to carry the water from the lake. He worked as hard as he could, but soon he began to realize that the job really was an impossible one, and he knew he was doomed. He sat down and began to cry because his luck had abandoned him and because his parents' blessings offered no protection in that evil place. Blanca Flor watched Juanito's valiant effort to move the water. As she watched him crying, her heart was touched, and she decided to use her powers to help him. She knew that it was very dangerous to use her powers to help Juanito and to cross Don Ricardo, but she felt it was finally time to end her own torment. As Juanito cried, Blanca Flor took out her brush and began to brush his hair. She cradled Juanito in her arms and her soothing comfort soon put him to sleep . . .
[As soon as JUANITO is asleep, BLANCA FLOR gently puts his head down and leaves, taking the thimble with her.]
What do the stage directions at the end of the excerpt indicate?
Answer:
They indicate that Blanca flor is going to help juanito I think
Explanation:
The stage directions at the end of the excerpt indicate that Blanca flor is going to help juanito.
What did Gabriella predict?
Blanca Flor spat three times into the fire, indicating that she will assist them in their time of need. This act foreshadows her choice to flee Don Ricardo in order to save Juanito.
The spit is part of her power, which will aid them anytime Don Ricardo speaks her name (as we will witness in the next moments).
She would utilize her abilities to deceive Don Ricardo in order to get away from him.

1.There is an image of past in the poem ‘Rain on the Roof”. Is this imagery similar to the one used in the poem “The Road not Taken”. Explain.
Answer:
No, the imagery of past in the poem 'Rain on the Roof' is different from the imagery of 'The Road Not Taken'.
Explanation:
'Rain on the Roof' is a poem written by Coates Kinney. The past imagery in this poem is about the wonderful thoughts of the speaker of his childhood, of his mother.
'The Road Not Taken' is a poem written by Robert Frost. The poem talks about the regretfulness of past decisions that the speaker has taken. The past imagery in this poem is of regret and sadness.
So, the past imageries of both the poem are not similar as they contrast with each other in terms of tone. The past imagery of the poem 'Rain on the Roof' is of love and sweet memories of mother. Whereas, the past imagery of 'The Road Not Taken' is sad and filled with the regrets of speaker's decision that he made in the past.

How do the descriptions of nature contribute to the meaning of the poem? Is the
comparison of hope to a bird effective? Why or why not? (minimum of two
paragraphs)
paragraphs
Answer:
Depending on what kind of bird it is it could mean anything. Ravens symbolize mischief and trickery, Quails mean protectiveness, Roadrunners mean mental speed and agility. Eagles symbolize mental enlightenment, hawks mean clear sight and truth seeker, and owls mean insight. Though the flying of birds can be seen as hope and freedom. I’m sure most people have dreamt of being a bird and flying away from our problems and just being free. I thing the thought of seeing bird fly freely gives people hope to be like that someday, just free.

Explanation:
Read the sentence from Samuel Johnson's preface to A Dictionary of the English Language. It is the fate of those who toil at the lower employments of life, to be rather driven by the fear of evil, than attracted by the prospect of good; to be exposed to censure, without hope of praise. What is the best definition of the underlined word as it is used in the sentence? a statement of wit or amusement an expression of disapproval or condemnation a sentiment of indifference or apathy an exclamation of profound admiration or esteem
ANSWER IS B- an expression of disapproval or condemnation (; since the other one is "locked" )
Note: You have already provided the answer. I will just add an explanation.
Answer:
The underlined word is "censure". The best definition for it as it is used in the sentence is:
B. an expression of disapproval or condemnation
Explanation:
The word "censure" refers to a vehement (strong) disapproval or criticism. If you censure someone for their behavior, that means you condemn such behavior and express your opinion in a severe manner to that person. However, even if we didn't know what the word means on its own, we could have chosen option B by taking the context into consideration. The author is working with opposite ideas - good and bad, censure and praise. Therefore, if praise means an expression of admiration, censure must be its opposite.

Explanation:Who is the “doctor” that speaks to the judge before the hearing? What does our
knowledge about him say about Ponyboy and the hearing?
Answer:
The doctor is a psychologist. Our knowledge of him informs us that Ponyboy is in a state of psychological distress which may indicate psychological problems, moreover, we can see that the audience has the function of judging Ponyboy's psychology based on what the doctor says about him.
Explanation:
The doctor is a psychologist responsible for assessing the condition of the condition that Ponyboy is in. That's because Ponyboy is shaken and very depressed after a crime led to Johnny's death. In addition to having a very delicate psychologist, he is disturbed and in denial about everything that happened.
