Writers organize their writings to make an impact on their readers. in muir's writing about the calypso borealis, he places different ways to view his journey close together. read the following paragraph and explain the opposite views present in the paragraph. what impact does muir make when he places these opposite views close together?

oftentimes i had to sleep without blankets, and sometimes without supper, but usually i had no great difficulty in finding a loaf of bread here and there at the houses of the farmer settlers in the widely scattered clearings. with one of these large backwoods

In this paragraph, Muir most likely wants to emphasize how you can never know what is going to happen in a trip. The author tells us that at times, he had to sleep without blankets and sometimes he struggled to find food. However, he also tells us that most of the time, he could find food in the houses of the farmers. Although the statement appears contradictory, Muir most likely wants to tell his readers how you can never know what to expect in a journey.

the swan might be a metaphor for our soul, which is ancient and timeless. the speaker wants to know where it's going and what it wants, what's the purpose in life. he asks our soul to follow him in knowing that god is us and the answer to the question "who am i" that was written on the wind of god's whim to know himself that blew over his being in the beginning of creation. and to connect to god consciously on the path to knowing him is the joy of loving him, like a bee that will grow and end our sorrows by ending desire. in that connection there is no doubt about god and existing forever.

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x
