from "It Sifts From Leaden Sieves"

It reaches to the Fence -
It wraps it Rail by Rail
Till it is lost in Fleeces -
It deals Celestial Vail

To Stump, and Stack - and Stem -
A Summer's empty Room -
Acres of Joints, where Harvests were,
Recordless, but for them -

from "The Snow-Storm"

Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,
Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,
And veils the farm-house at the garden's end.
The sled and traveller stopped, the courier's feet
Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit
Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed
In a tumultuous privacy of storm.

'The Snow Storm'
The author's word choice is very unique. Words such as 'radiant' or 'tumultuous' are words that most people don't know. With a unique title and unique word choices, it makes the story interesting.

'It Sifts From Leaden Sieves'
This author's word choice is rather (in my opinion) repetitive. The prompt itself is a bit repetitive. But, the word choice is the only thing keeping me awake.

So, if I compare both of these prompts, I'd say that The Snow Storm is more unique because of the word choice and it's not as repetitive. The Snow Storm portrayed the prompt as if it were an actual snow storm.

Answer:

I included an evaluation of the author's use of description.

I stated how her description helped me understand the topic.

I included evidence from the text to support my answer.

Explanation:

Sample Response: The author clearly describes what a light second is by including examples that her readers can relate to. She provides an example of how far a kid could run in a second and then shows just how much farther light can travel in the same time by describing the distance as "from Earth to the Moon."
