2 Read this extract.
He looked back, and then he looked up; and he was amazed to see how far his
last effort had brought him. The Mountain standing ominous and alone had
DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA
looked taller than it was. The confused and tumbled shoulders of its great base
rose for maybe three thousand feet above the plain, and above them was reared
half as high again its tall central cone, like a vast chimney capped with a jagged
crater.
As he looked up he would have given a shout, for amid the rugged humps above
him he saw plainly a path or road. It climbed from the west and wound snakelike
about the Mountain, until it reached the foot of the cone upon its eastern side.
In the extract, how does the writer use language to show that Mount Doom is an
unwelcoming place?
Use examples from the extract and relevant subject terminology.
