Paper 2 Question 3
How does the writer use language to describe how he feels.

The terrible sliding stopped, and I hung silently against the slope. Three faint tugs trembled the taut rope, and I hopped up on to my leg. A wave of nausea and pain swept over me. I was glad of the freezing blasts of snow biting into my face. My head cleared as I waited for the burning to subside from my knee. Several times I had felt it twist sideways when my boot snagged. There would be a flare of agony as the knee kinked back, and parts within the joint seemed to shear past each other with a sickening gristly crunch. I had barely ceased sobbing before my boot snagged again. At the end my leg shook uncontrollably. I tried to stop it shaking, but the harder I tried, the more it shook. I pressed my face into the snow, gritted my teeth, and waited. At last it eased.

these are just some ideas im not too sure if this is the correct extract.

Answer:

freezing blasts of snow biting into my face

Explanation:

This is personification. Snow cannot bite. Biting is a painful, violent and vigorous act that leaves marks. He is showing how painful the snow is against his face and giving the snow human actions. Hope this helped.

from Life on the Mississippi
I still keep in mind a certain wonderful sunset which I witnessed when steamboating was new to me. A broad expanse of the river was
turned to blood; in the middle distance the red hue brightened into gold, through which a solitary log came floating black and conspicuous; in one
place a long, slanting mark lay sparkling upon the water, in another the surface was broken by boiling, tumbling rings, that were as many-tinted as
an opal, where the ruddy flush was faintest, was a smooth spot that was covered with graceful circles and radiating lines, ever so delicately traced;
the shore on our left was densely wooded, and the sombre shadow that fell from this forest was broken in one place by a long ruffled trail that
shone like silver, and high above the forest wall a clean-stemmed dead tree waved a single leafy bough that glowed like a flame in the unobstructed
splendor that was flowing from the sun.....
The world was new to me, and I had never seen anything like this at home. But as I have said, a day came when I began to cease from noting
the glories and the charms which the moon and the sun and the twilight wrought upon the river's face, another day came when I ceased altogether
to note them. Then, if that sunset scene had been repeated, I should have looked upon it without rapture, and should have commented upon it,
inwardly, after this fashion. This sun means that we are going to have wind to-morrow, that floating log means that the river is rising small thanks
to it that starting mark on the water refers to a bluff reef which is going to kill somebody's steamboat che of these nights, if it keeps on stretching
out like that, those tumbling "bolls" show a dissolving bar and a changing channel there, the lines and circles in the slick water over yonder are a
warring that the troublesome place is shoaling up dangerously,
Which statement best conveys how the author's viewpoint changes in the passage?
1. His fear of nature intensifies as he comes to accept that a river is more dangerous than it is beautiful.
O2. His ability to describe the river with precise language improves as he gains more skills in steamboating
3. His way of seeing the river shifts from mysterious wonder to objective analysis as he becomes a steamboating expert
4. His enjoyment of the river comes at first as the result of acute observations and later as the result of proven instincts.

Why did the author resist being called "black"? in back to my country

1) There's a sitcom on television—a show about two teenaged twin sisters. The characters are arguing over a pair of running shoes. 2) Suddenly, I am hearing my own voice, arguing with my sister Shemeika years ago. 3) We would fight constantly over who got to drive the car, or who would wear our mother's red heels to parties. "It's my turn!" I'd whine. "Is not!" she'd yell back. 4) She was bigger and older, so she usually got her way. 5) Right now, I'd love to be having one of those arguments again. 6) My sister is in the military—we're lucky if we get one phone call a month. But at least I know she's not wearing those red shoes now!
