Question

how does dillard convey the intensity of her encounter with the weasel in lines 63-75?

Answer 1

• Dillard conveys the intensity of this encounter by slowing down the moment . She builds tension by characterizing the weasel down to the tiniest detail ( there was just a dot of chin , maybe two hairs ' worth ) , and creating a parallel between herself and the weasel ( The weasel was stunned into stillness . I was stunned into stillness ) . Although this incident took a matter of 60 seconds , we are reading for much longer , wondering what will happen next .

Answer 2

$hello \: bro \: here \: is \: ur \: answer \:$

Answer:−

When Dillard first meets the weasel, she describes its appearance using a number of comparisons. For instance, she says that it is "thin as a curve, a muscled ribbon, brown as fruitwood." She pictures its face as "small and pointed as a lizard's" and declares that "he would have made a good arrowhead."
