There is a quote that accurately portrays the mood when Helen discovers her husbands fate:
"Scout," said Dill, "She just fell down in the dirt. Just fell down in the dirt, like a giant with a big foot just came along and stepped on her. Just ump-" Dills fat foot hit the ground. "Like you'd step on an ant."
Helen was very upset about Toms death.
The rising action identifies the element of plot.
1. C. The work was difficult, yet Lucy was glad to have a job.
2. C. Folks were struggling to survive in most places, but in California they had jobs.
3. B. Dos Palos was a small community, but the land was good for farming.
I'm fairly certain of all these answers!
Hope this helps :)
