Question

what does the diction and details reveal about the tone in this passage.

"When first I took up my abode in the woods, that is, began to spend my nights as well as days there, which, by accident, was on Independence Day, or the Fourth of July, 1845, my house was not finished for winter, but was merely a defence against the rain, without plastering or chimney, the walls being of rough, weather-stained boards, with wide chinks, which made it cool at night."

Answer 1

So is the tone like satisfactory or acceptance in had work

Answer 2
