gene stratton-porter

4 flashing through the tree-tops of the limberlost there are birds whose colour is more brilliant than that of the gaudiest flower lifting its face to light and air. the lilies of the mire are not so white as the white herons that fish among them. the ripest spray of goldenrod is not so highly coloured as the burnished gold on the breast of the oriole that rocks on it. the jays are bluer than the calamus bed they wrangle above with throaty chatter. the finches are a finer purple than the ironwort. for every clump of foxfire flaming in the limberlost, there is a cardinal glowing redder on a bush above it. these may not be more numerous than other birds, but their brilliant colouring and the fearless disposition make them seem so.

The subject of the last paragraph is option B) The intense colors of the birds.

Explanation:

The writer names several kinds of birds and makes comparisons between their colors and the colors of different flowers to give a more vivid image. For example "The jays are bluer than the calamus bed they wrangle above with throaty chatter."

"The ripest spray of goldenrod is not so highly coloured as the burnished gold on the breast of the oriole that rocks on it."

hi there!

sorry i was debating over answering this question or not, but i do believe it is a sin to be gay. in the beginning, god created man and he created women to be a for man. there are many "political" views on this topic but i believe the bible is right. in the kjv bible, leviticus 18: 22, god talks about how it it is an abomination for women to be with women and man to be with man. god knows that everybody is a sinner, and he gives everyone a chance to repent. i'm not forcing god's word on anybody, but i do believe it is a sin. no matter the sin, as long as you repent, god is willing to forgive, you just have to accept him as your lord and savior.
