Excerpt from Mother Nature's Fury
Tracy Wilson
While I cannot remember the actual impact, pictures from the aftermath tell the story word for word. The tin can that once was a
car was belly up in the top of a 100 foot maple. We hung there for hours oblivious to the disaster around us. When rescuers could
finally get to us, power lines made it too dangerous to touch the metal car. I awoke first 32 days after my ride in the sky and
remembered much of the ordeal. My sister however, after lying in a coma for nearly three months, has no recollection of any
detail from her life before the accident. Lack of oxygen erased her past. My physical wounds have long since healed, but spend
many hours below ground. The slightest hint of thunder or an awkward colored sunset sends me racing to my life below to hide
from her.
Which word describes the author's emotions since the storm?
fearful
grateful
hateful
joyful

fearful

Explanation:

He is afraid of the bad weather because it is reminding him of something that left feelings of sadness and fear in him. He is saying that his physical wounds have long since healed but his mental wounds did not since he is always wanting to hide when he hears the slightest hint of thunder.

"everyday

use" was written by alice walker. this is a story about two sisters, dee

and maggie wanting to have the handmade quilt. maggie wants to use the thing

for its purpose, while dee appreciates it for being “her heritage”.   the quilt represents family heritage. it was

believed that only dedication and years of hard work can represent a  quilt. 

mama decided to give

the quilts to her less fortunate daughter, maggie because she believed that dee

could not hold the true meaning of their family heritage and   that she would not use the quilts for their

purpose. however, dee believed that maggie can’t appreciate the quilts just as

how she sees them, and she thought that the quilt will be put to “everyday use”

by maggie and within 5 years or so, the quilt will turn into a rag. in the story, dee strongly believed that maggie do not deserve the quilts.

have a great day!
