Question

Stevenson wrote the essay several years after his visit to Wick,Scotland. How has looking back at the time and seeing it from a new perspective changing his thinking? Using evidence from the except to support your respond.

Answer 1

Stevenson’s essay is about how he learned to find beauty and experience joy and peace in a place that seemed unpleasant at first. At the beginning, he says that "six weeks in (that) unpleasant countryside had done more. . . to quicken and educate my sensibilities than many years in places that jumped more nearly with my inclination" (natural liking).

Stevenson ends by saying that this visit taught him how to discover beauty and experience peace and happiness anywhere, even in places that seemed harsh and unwelcoming:

There, in the bleak and gusty North, I received, perhaps, my strongest impression of peace. I saw the sea to be great and calm; and the earth, in that little corner, was all alive and friendly to me. So, wherever a man is, he will find something to please and pacify him: in the town he will meet pleasant faces of men and women, and see beautiful flowers at a window, or hear a cage-bird singing at the corner of the gloomiest street; and for the country, there is no country without some amenity—let him only look for it in the right spirit, and he will surely find.

Step-by-step explanation:

this is the answer
