The ground shook in response to the deafening crash, and the world seemed to stand still for a moment. But only just. The ground shook, the people around the area breaking into a commotion. All of them swarmed to the nearest shelter, desperately searching for a means to escape their fate. One person rushed into their home, hastily barricading the door as several people followed after them. Another stood on the edge of a roof, apprehensively taking a step forward as the world went up in flames around them. It had come. The apocalypse, long awaited, was finally happening.
A: It shows his death, which would be the end of his life/biography
Okay so
passage 1: Passage one has a mostly positive tone. Allow me to explain. The words used can set a peaceful, calm mood and allow you to paint a beautiful picture in your mind. Words such as bobbed, lapped and quaint suggest calm movements and an enjoyable environment. However Passage 2 is mostly negative in tone. This scene, unlike passage 1 sets a miserable, dark mood, and seems like an unlikely place to be comfortable in. Words such as ragged, frigid, slapped and weathered suggests a worn raft, cold waters, and miserable conditions, perhaps life threatening. Therefore, it is negative in tone. To sum up everything previously stated, passage 1 has a mostly positive tone, whereas passage 2 is mostly negative.
hope that helped :]
