    Putting It Together: Mentor Paragraph

    Foreground Middle Ground Background

    Right in the foreground, smooth river pebbles glisten wetly beside a steaming metal mug of cedar tea, radiating soothing warmth into the chilled air. Across the middle ground, a red wooden canoe bobs silently atop the calm lake, its oars resting quietly across the seat. High in the distant background, jagged mountain ridges rise into a purple twilight sky, while the faint whistle of a train echoes softly.
