when we picked ourselves up at the bottom we were not more than 1500 ft. above the sea. the slope was comparatively easy. water was running beneath the snow, making "pockets" between the rocks that protruded above the white surface. the shells of snow over these pockets were traps for our feet; but we scrambled down, and presently came to patches of tussock. a few minutes later we reached the sandy beach. the tracks of some animals were to be seen, and we were puzzled until i remembered that reindeer, brought from norway, had been placed on the island and now ranged along the lower land of the eastern coast. we did not pause to investigate. our minds were set upon reaching the haunts of man, and at our best speed we went along the beach to another rising ridge of tussock. here we saw the first evidence of the proximity of man, whose work, as is so often the ease, was one of destruction. a recently killed seal was lying there, and presently we saw several other bodies bearing the marks of bullet-wounds. i learned later that men from the whaling-station at stromness sometimes go round to fortuna bay by boat to shoot seals.

noon found us well up the slope on the other side of the bay working east-south-east, and half an hour later we were on a flat plateau, with one more ridge to cross before we descended into husvik. i was leading the way over this plateau when i suddenly found myself up to my knees in water and quickly sinking deeper through the snow-crust. i flung myself down and called to the others to do the same, so as to distribute our weight on the treacherous surface.

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
