" (lines 11-12).
Service uses words with negative connotations such as "dizzy" and "deathlike" to create the illusion of the land being bad. Alliteration using "d" sounds is also evident in this passage. He tells us about the people, like himself, who appreciate, cherish and love the Yukon despite its pitfalls. This expresses the general theme that we can admire something that is not perfect; we can admire imperfections.
The third stanza explains the transition of emotions with time. Service tells us that the feelings of hate toward the bitter land transform to feelings of friendship. To more fully help us understand the transition of the mind, he compares it to the addictiveness of some kinds of crime.
"It grips you like some kinds of sinning;.
It twists you from foe to friend;.
It seems it's been since the beginning;.
It seems it will be to the end." (lines 21-24).
The repetition of the word "it" and the phrase "it seems it" makes the transition of the mind clear and easier to understand. The theme of the mind readjusting to circumstances echoes one of the themes in the first stanza of the poem.
Throughout the next four stanzas, Service describes the serenity of the Yukon. He illustrates the surrounding plant and animal life, the unspoiled ground, and the solitude of isolation. We are told all of the things in the Yukon that seem perfect.
"I've stood in some mighty-mouthed hollow.
That's plumb-full of hush to the brim;" (lines 25-26).
"The freshness, the freedom, the farness -.
O God! How I"m stuck on it all." (lines 39-40).
In these quotations, alliteration is used to emphasize the point that is being made. Service also expresses his yearning for the Yukon and tells us several times that he shall return to the arctic in the future.
"The stillness, the moonlight, the mystery,.
I've bade "em good-bye - but I can't." .
(lines 47-48).
"And I want to go back - and I will." (line 56).
In the first quotation, repetition of the word "the" followed by a noun is used along with alliteration using "m" sounds to make the communication more effective.

HISTORY: in its broadest sense, is the story of humanity's past. It also refers to the recording of that past.
