What best describes the contrast between the narrative structures of version 1 and version 2? read the two versions of the beginning of yasmin’s narrative. version 1: i took a long, lingering look at the tremendous beauty that surrounded me. nature abounded as far as the eye could see, and the only sounds to be heard were the peaceful murmurs of that which existed in the wilderness. as i sat there, my tent and sleeping bag the only signs of civilization for miles, my heart swelled with relief that i had decided to take this weekend camping trip. i could feel every muscle in my body gradually relaxing with every sight, every sound, every smell within this untouched slice of tranquility. it was hard to believe that anything could disrupt the serenity of this place . . but i could not have been more wrong. version 2: exhausted, i took one last look around me. i had been camping for only two short days, but i could not wait to get home and recount the adventures of my short stay in peace and tranquility. hoisting my backpack onto my back, i grabbed my canteen and began the long trek back to my car. the question was not which story i should tell, but rather which one i should tell first.

Yasmin's version 1 is more descriptive than version 2. Version 1 gives a detailed description of the place where Yasmin stayed. It was a beautiful place and peaceful. She made a contrast bewteen " civilization" and wildnerness. She gives a description of her body but she finishes with some suspense. Something happened and this disrupted the serenity of the place.

Version 2 . This is not descriptive. Yasmin just enumerates the different actions she  did. There is not description of any "beautiful " place. She just tells that her stay was in "peace" and "tranquility". She does not give any detail about her body. There is not suspense,either. She was getting back home ,probably, and she had stories to tell. She did not know which story she would tell first.

Version 1 uses chronological order, building up to the action. Version 2 starts with the conclusion to make readers curious about the beginning.
