Tuck Everlasting Review
1. The road by the shadows of the trees “swung out in a wide arc as if, for the first time, it had reason to think where it was going, and passed around.” What is the narrator trying to reveal with the description of the road by the first trees?

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."

hasty generalization

i would need to know the specific part of the passage your referring to ?
