At the beginning of this excerpt, we see the narrator (Theodore Dreiser) reflecting on the nature of his brother. The excerpt then switches to the narrative storytelling of an event that clarifies and supports this reflection. Because this is a work of nonfiction and Dreiser is recounting real people and their experiences, he makes it known that it’s almost impossible to use words to capture the essence of what his brother was truly like. He proceeds to narrate an incident that helps the readers get a better understanding of his brother and his nature. Dreiser describes the incident as though he is telling a fictional story. He provides descriptive details about the atmosphere and the character (his brother) in the scene, just like a scene from a piece of fiction. He draws on his factual knowledge of his brother’s traits and uses this brief, real-life incident to help readers understand his brother and how he was generous, sympathetic, and a tad bit mischievous. He uses descriptive language to add depth to the incident and maintain readers’ attention.

Answer:
As i chase the dog down the street, it feels like its getting father and father away. I feel the hard concrete beneath my feet. All i hear is the sound of the rain pattering against the ground. As i run as fast as my legs can, I slowly catch up to the dog. We ran past old houses. As the lightning struck, i jumped on the dog and bit it's neck. It died instantly. AS i slowly dragged the body out of the street, I felt very hungry. I bit and scratched at the dog until his body ripped open. i ate like i haven't eaten in days. I chewed on the bones and licked the blood as if it was water. I left the dog's carcass there and walked into the dark woods. Never looking back.

I believe that the answer is C. This is most likely the best option because it also adds a subject. B does add a better description but putting "While I" in answer C shows who is listening to the sentence
