Last week students read "Flood" (page 710 of your literature books) for homework and answered the following questions in class. If you were absent on the day of these questions, you will need to read the story and answer the following questions.
FLOOD QUESTIONS
1. Viewing the picture on page 712 and 713, do you think the physical damage or the emotional damage brought on by a natural disaster like this flood is harder to overcome? Why?
2. Is the author's claim that "the season changed two hours ago" a fact or an impression? Explain. (p. 712).
3. How do the sensory details (details that appeal to one or more of the five senses: taste, touch, sight, sound, smell) on page 713 help create a mood?
4. To what senses do each of the descriptive details about a helicopter appeal? (see the fourth paragraph on page 714).
5. In what specific ways are the second and third paragraphs on page 715 typical of a descriptive essay?
6. Why is the narrator in no imminent danger in the flood? (p. 715)
7. On page 717, identify the facts (objective writing) and the impressions or opinions (subjective writing) in the description of the truck's arrival.
8. What does the narrator think happens to the animals during a flood? (p. 716-717).
