Prompt Choice 2 (Informational Response).
How does the excerpt prepare the reader for the last line? What details and descriptions prepare the reader for the change in tone and mood in the final line?
First, the author introduces the reader to the children as unaware of what is to come for them, for the tittle is not true at the beggining of the story, they are not Railway Children just yet. The chapter later continues to describe the life of Roberta, Peter and Phyllis before they became railway children, and as the description goes on in such a detailed manner, the reader creates an image of a perfect and happy scenario in which the children used to live before the dreadful change. Even if it is known by the reader that this happy life won't last, said image is already showing the reader what will be missed. The final sentence of the excerpt is where every detail of the life the children had given by the author crumbles down because of this dreadfull change, the significance of this change is also emphatized by the writing style (notice the use of capital letters in "HOW happy till the pretty life...").
