PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Imagery "By the mighty alps, whose white and shining pyramids and domes towered above all, as belonging to another earth, the habitations of another race of beings"

Diction "Your summits are clear. The sky and lake are blue and placid. Night also crowded around during this short voyage I saw the lightening playing on the summit of Mont Blanc in the most beautiful figures"

Dialogue I wept like a child, "Dear mountains! My own beautiful lake! How do you welcome your wanderer? Your summits are clear; the sky and lake are blue and placid, red to mock at my unhappiness"

Structure "By degrees the clam and heavenly scene restored me and I continued my journey towards Geneva", "The desert mountains and dreary glaciers are my refuge. I have wandered here many days; the caves of ice, which I only do not fear, are a dwelling to me, and the only one which man does not grudge."

Mood "Mont Blanc, the supreme and magnificent Mont Blanc, raised itself from me surrounding aiguilles, and it's tremendous dome over looked the valley"

Tone "The county in the neighborhood of this village resembled, to a degree, the scenery of Switzerland; but everything is on a lower scale, and the green hills want the crown of distant white Alps which always attend on the piny mountains of my native country"

Atmosphere "I do not doubt that he hovers near the spot which I inhabit, and if he has indeed taken refuge in the Alps, he may be hunted like the chamois and destroyed as a beast of prey. But I perceive your thoughts; you do not credit my narrative and do not intend to pursue my enemy with the punishment in his desert"
