closely looking at emma saxon

To me, pages 30 to 31 are really interesting since it really depicts a major turn of events and swings the mood and tension of the reader. These pages starts in a happy and enjoyable atmosphere, the atmosphere which is starting to dwindle in the house and within the household. This type of setting and atmosphere really lighten the reading up a bit and decrease the tension within the reader, since it seems like there's nothing wrong with the house except for mr. brympton. But after those joyful and merry period, Edith Wharton really swings the atmosphere from merry and peaceful to misterious and intense with the appearance of emma saxon. The author's intention to swing the mood of the reader can also be seen by the word selection in the first half of page 30 and the second half of page 30 to the end of page 31. In the first half of page 30 the words that edith used are merry, joyful, walk in the morning, happy. In the second half up to page 31, the words that she used are dragged with ropes, black and lonely in the snow. To me this part of the book really invited me to dig deeper tor eading the rest of the story.
