Question

DIRECTIONS: Read the passage below. Then, answer the questions that follow.

The hikers gathered around the campfire, enjoying the warm evening, the
bright fire, and the companionship of friends, new and old. Stories of the day
were exchanged. As the sky got darker, the stories turned to past adventures.
A quiet man started to speak.
It was spring, a clear evening, when I thought it might be my last evening.
Behind me I heard a shuffling and the breaking of twigs. Suddenly, the
bushes parted and a huge wolf entered the clearing.
1. Underline the sentence when the interior story starts. Explain your answer.
2. What is one description of the storyteller that you might not know in a different text
structure?

Answer 1

1) The interior story starts with the sentence "It was spring, a clear evening, when I thought it might be my last evening." This sentence marks the beginning of the storyteller's narrative and the shift from the group of hikers sitting around the campfire to the story being told.

2) One description of the storyteller that you might not know in a different text structure is that they are a quiet man. This detail is only mentioned in the passage because it is part of the narrative of the story being told around the campfire.
