Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” When I was very near, my raft struck and turned over. I can swim in our lakes—I swam to the shore. There was a great spike of rusted metal sticking out into the river—I hauled myself up upon it and sat there, panting. I had saved my bow and two arrows and the knife I found in the Dead Place but that was all. My raft went whirling downstream toward the Bitter Water. I looked after it, and thought if it had trod me under, at least I would be safely dead. Nevertheless, when I had dried my bowstring and re-strung it, I walked forward to the Place of the Gods. What kind of atmosphere is created by the author's word choice in this excerpt?

The author’s choice of words proves that he is trying to create an atmosphere where the victim is helpless and loses hope to live. But the life of the victim is in such a situation that he needs no hard breathless suffering to die like drowning in the waters, rather safe suffering and death on the shore. And also, he is trying to create an atmosphere where the victim’s hope is only on God and he actually believes in God.
