The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Virginian by Owen Wister: of evil which the sight of the wheeling buzzard had begun,
deepened as evening grew, while ever and again along the creek
the singular call and answer of the owls wandered among the
darkness of the trees not far away.
The sun was gone from the peaks when at length the other side of
the stream opened into a long wide meadow. The trail they
followed, after crossing a flat willow thicket by the water, ran
into dense pines, that here for the first time reached all the
way down to the water's edge. The two men came out of the
willows, and saw ahead the capricious runaways leave the bottom
and go up the hill and enter the wood.
