Read the excerpt from John Muir's "Calypso Borealis" and answer the question.
[1] After earning a few dollars working on my brother-in law's farm near Portage (Wisconsin), I set off on the first of my long lonely excursions, botanising
in glorious freedom around the Great Lakes and wandering through innumerable tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps, and forests of maple, basswood, ash,
elm, balsam, fir pine, spruce, hemlock, rejoicing' in their bound wealth and strength and beauty, climbing the trees, revelling in their flowers and fruit like
bees in beds of goldenrods, glorying in the fresh cool beauty and charm of the bog and meadow heathworts, grasses, carices, ferns, mosses, liverworts
displayed in boundless profusion.
[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 ...
In a paragraph of 3-5 sentences, explain how Muir views nature. Support your answer with two examples from the passage. Explain how each example
reveals his view of nature.

Answers

Answer 1

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.

name the organ that helps a turtle to swim in water? ​

Answers

In order to swim, turtles utilize all four of their legs, extending them to propel themselves through the water. Turtles have webbed feet, and they use them to paddle. They will dive and paddle around then come back up to the surface to breathe.

Answer:

Sea turtles are reptiles and therefore are cold blooded, lay eggs, and have scaly skin, claws and lungs. Unlike terrestrial turtles, sea turtles have flippers instead of feet. This allows them to move quickly through the water. To help them swim, sea turtles shells are very narrow and hydrodynamic.

Answers

Answer:

"Thus it was, grandchildren, that I began my day as Kii Yazhi and ended it as Ned Begay.”

Significance of this statement:

The story of how he ended up with a different name at the end of the day is the meaning of this statement to me. Because the white teacher didn't understand their language and didn't realize that Biye means "son of" in Navajo, there were so many Begays. So he gave him the name Biye, spelled "Begay" as he had heard it. Other white men followed suit. That's why there are so many Begay Navajo families. He was relieved that he didn't have another John for a first name. The white man was tired of writing the name John by the time he got to him. As a result, he was given the same first name as the teacher's uncle, "Ned," who had died.

Answers

In my opinion, the words are reflecting where someone is in life. Maybe you have goals or dreams but you might not have all the tools, experience, education or materials to achieve them yet. Instead of giving up altogether, these words are saying “all progress is positive.” You have to “use what you have” to achieve smaller goals that may help you achieve your End Goal. So if your end goal is to own your own business. First, you might want to focus education, even if it might not be the best, so you can receive higher education on how business works. Maybe you need money to get the business going, learn about loans, fundraising, marketing etc.

The floods caused by raging water that lasted for several years came to end after the ark he had made for them. The rain had slowed down to the extent that he could not feel the raindrops that hit him when he walked down the street. Suddenly a boat splashed, and raised an entire hill of water that was damaging the streets from the end of the village to the end of the village. He had stopped to celebrate the end of what he called the wettest period ever to hit the village.

The pencils on the wall were sharpened to perfect points. The dusty, unoccupied room was almost a tomb. He was left with a cold cup of tea and a sentence to recopy for the twenty-fifth time. But he didn’t get up, because there was nothing else to do in his small, bare cell.

The corporate charter authorizes the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of common stock carrying a $1 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of $5 par value, noncumulative, nonparticipating preferred stock. On January 2, 2011, 3,000,000 shares of the common stock are issued in exchange for cash at an average price of $10 per share.

On June 30, 2011, the corporation reacquires 200,000 shares for the treasury at a price of $12 per share.b. On July 31, 2011, 50,000 treasury shares are reissued at $15 per share.c.

Since the new par value is one-half the amount of the old, this represents a 2-for-1 stock split. That is, the shareholders will receive two shares of the $.50 par stock in exchange for each share of the $1 par stock they own. The $1 par stock will be collected and destroyed by the issuing corporation.On November 1, 2011, the Nicklaus Corporation declares a $.05 per share cash dividend on common stock and a $.25 per share cash dividend on preferred stock.
