Passage from "Of Wolves of Men" by: Barry Holstun Lopez


He moves along now at the edge of a clearing. The wind coming down-valley surrounds him with a river of odors, as if he were a migrating salmon. He can smell ptarmigan and deer droppings. He can smell willow and spruce and the fading sweetness of fireweed. Above, he sees a hawk circling, and farther south, lower on the horizon, a flock of sharp-tailed sparrows going east. He senses through his pads with each step the dryness of the moss beneath his feet, and the ridges of old tracks, some his own. He hears the sound his feet make. He hears the occasional movement of deer mice and voles. Summer food

Answer:

The Figurative Language

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there! I'm not sure I understand the question, but if you are asking for each of those three things then I would put the following:

For tone I would put peaceful and calming because it talks about nature, in the moment, there is not chaos or suspense.

Word choice is descriptive.

The type of figurative language is imagery. It is describing everything the author sees and/or hears.
