The early light of morning lay rosy red upon the mountains, and a fresh breeze rustled through the fir trees and set their ancient branches waving to and fro. The sound awoke Heidi and she opened her eyes. The roaring in the trees always stirred a strong emotion within her and seemed to draw her irresistibly to them. So she jumped out of bed and dressed herself as quickly as she could, but it took her some time even then, for she was careful now to be always clean and tidy.

Based on this excerpt, which argument do you think the author would make about life in the mountains?

-mysterious and joyful
-beautiful and wholesome

anonymous · Answer

stuck between these two

anonymous · Answer

beautiful and wholesome i'd say

anonymous · Answer

Joyful... possibly. But mysterious... not really

anonymous · Answer

yeah that's what I was thinking but it says it stirred a strong emotion in her and uses the word ancient, but ill still put beautiful and wholesome because it's more likely

anonymous · Answer

I would think that "ancient branches" is beautiful; because the tree is so old that it had had the time to mature and become beautiful.

yeah i agree, thanks!
