In Moving Water, Tucson a teenage boy decides to ride a flash flood on a wooden plank. This cool idea quickly turned bad. After a few seconds he fell off of the plank and was thrown against a footbridge.
The way that the author wrote this story made it more interesting. It had a very fluid flow to it, because he didn't make it sound tragic when he died. At the end of the story it said "We saw him downstream smash against the footbridge at the end of the block. Water held him there, rushing on." The way he wrote the ending is like how he wrote the rest, very calm and peaceful. I really like this author's writing style.
Ty, I enjoyed your response to this early story from _ST_ (especially your feedback on the abrupt and BRUTAL closing image), but the assignment called for you to read and respond to an undiscovered passage, that we haven't read as a class! Please re-submit your blog during the break- -tell us about an exciting NEW narrative.
ReplyDeleteTo not make it sound tragic makes the story even more interesting to read.
