"Tornado Coming"

English
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]4 years ago
3 0

Answer and explanation:

"Tornado Coming!" is a short story by D.ick Donley. Matt is a boy who lives on the Ozark Hills. He is home alone - only accompanied by his dog - when he hears the siren warning that a tornado is forming.

<u>Matt reacts by immediately looking for shelter. He picks up his dog and heads to a cellar, where they both will be safe.</u> However, <u>when he is about to enter the cellar, he realizes Mrs. Laney's house will be hit by the tornado. He leaves his dog safely in the cellar and goes to help Mrs. Laney.</u>

Mrs. Laney is an old lady who has arthritis is who is quite rude to Matt because his dog digs up her garden. When Matt arrives at her house,<u> Mrs. Laney is sitting in her rocking chair in her bedroom, even though the tornado is coming. The reason why Mrs. Laney does not react like Matt is that she probably didn't hear the siren. She asks Matt to speak up when he talks to her, which may be a sign of difficulty hearing. Another reason seems to be that she is quite skeptical about things in general. She does not believe Matt when he says a tornado is coming. Only after the house is hit - and they remain safe thanks to Matt - does she acknowledge it was a tornado.</u>

Type a story (130-160) that ends with the following sentence: I was exhausted, but relieved that I wasn't hurt.​
padilas [110]
<h2>Hello Marie Here!!!</h2><h2>(____ That means any name you would like)</h2>

I walked into my room and flopped on my bed. "____ Come here please" My mom called for me. I got off my bed and walked toward the kitchen. I sniffed the air "Smells good mom" I said to her. She smiled at me and handed me my plate. I looked down at the food. <em>Cornbread, chicken wings and water</em> ​​​​​​​I thought. Once I got finished, I walked back into my room and called my best friend ____. "Hello, Hello?" _____ Said. "Hi, I was wondering if you would like to go in the woods and look around?" I asked her. "You just moved here. You sure?"  ____ said.  "I'm sure" I said while getting dressed for the woods. 

I walked out of the door, as ____ ran up to me "Hello, Hello ____" She said to me. I waved at her. We walked into the woods.<em> Ooh</em> AND <em>Ahh</em>. We would say when we saw colorful birds. But then A wolf came up to us growling. I backed up and acted big, while backing up. When I got back to my house I was exhausted, but relieved that I wasn't hurt.​

List three examples of imagery regarding where Grendel's and his mother live.
Akimi4 [234]

Three examples of imagery regarding where Grendel and his mother are:

  • No one knows its bottom,
  • 'Hunted through the woods by packs of hounds
  • 'They live in secret places...'

<h3>What is imagery?</h3>

Imagery is a term that shows a vivid description of the events in a story. When describing the evil place where Grendel and his mother lived, the usage of terms that depict the place as not having a bottom and being in the woods clearly show that it was a strange and hideous place.

The place was also described as secret and this meant that it was not easily accessible or known to others. Grendel and his mother were not good people as seen in the story, Beowulf. This is also reflected in the description of the place where they lived.

The reader can imagine that the place where they stayed was weird. So, the phrases above connote a good depiction of imagery.
