attention to the words in bold. In one paragraph of three to five sentences, explain Muir's
use of diction and the mood his choice of words creates. Use proper spelling and grammar in your response.
(Bold words marked with **)
The rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants I discovered on this first grand
excursion was Calypso borealis (the Hider of the North). 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.
