Read the excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis.” The lightning was near now, and from fear he walked so close behind me he kept steppin

g on my heels. The faster I walked, the faster he walked, so I began to run. The rain was coming, roaring through the pines, and then, like a bursting Roman candle, a gum tree ahead of us was shattered by a bolt of lightning. When the deafening peal of thunder had died, and in the moment before the rain arrived, I heard Doodle, who had fallen behind, cry out, “Brother, Brother, don’t leave me! Don’t leave me!” The imagery in this excerpt most reflects the sense of sight to emphasize the fear that Doodle was feeling. the sense of sight to emphasize how difficult it was for the boys to see. the sense of sound to emphasize the frustration of the narrator. the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm.

Answer:

The imagery in this excerpt most reflects D. the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm.

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to one or more of the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing) to involve the reader and help visualize what is being described.

This excerpt clearly appeals to sound (hearing), as can be evidenced by word choice: roaring, deafening, thunder, heard, cry out. The reader is able to imagine what the approaching storm sounds like in its intensity - how the thunders and the rain roar, how a person has to scream to be heard amidst all this noise. We can, therefore, safely choose letter D as our answer - D. the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm.

Make inferences and draw conclusions about the author's purpose in the novel A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Smith wrote A Tree Grows in Brooklyn to inform others about what it was like growing up in a small neighborhood in Brooklyn in the early 1900s. In one chapter, she recalls "with a peculiar tenderness" how Brooklynites celebrated Thanksgiving (Smith 1). Smith's use of cultural terminology, such as "ragamuffin" or "slamming gates," helps the reader better understand the language used by children in the Williamsburg neighborhood at that point in history. Her detailed description of the children's selection of costumes reveals the popular culture of the time and tensions between the poor and rich of the town (1). Smith dwells not only on the cultural details of early Brooklyn, but she also describes emotional experiences of growing up poor. Although the children in Francie's classroom are hungry, they are "too proud to accept charitable food. . . . ," even when that food is about to be thrown away (3). For these children, dignity is more important than satisfying hunger pangs. Smith's careful attention to cultural, historical, and emotional details informs the reader of what it was like to grow up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in the early 1900s.
