Read the passage from “ways of nature.”
she has a pretty way of trying to frighten you off when your head suddenly darkens the opening above her. at such times she leaves the nest and clings to the side of the chimney near it. then, slowly raising her wings, she suddenly springs out from the wall and back again, making as loud a drumming with them in the passage as she is capable of. if this does not frighten you away, she repeats it three or four times. if your face still hovers above her, she remains quiet and watches you.
how does the author’s use of the words pretty and quiet affect the tone of the passage?
the comforting tone makes the bird seem kind toward humans.
the childish tone makes the bird’s defenses seem weak.
the peaceful tone makes the bird seem harmless and mild.
