Question

Read the paragraph below (from Ray Bradbury's "All Summer in a Day") aloud and with expression. Emphasize different words to change the meaning of the passage. Write one or two sentences discussing how the emphasis changes the meaning of the sentence.

It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy there were tidal waves that came over the islands. A thousand forests had been crushed under the rain and grown up a thousand times to be crushed again. And this was the way life was forever on the planet Venus, and this was the schoolroom of the children of the rocket men and women who had come to a raining world to set up civilization and live out their lives.

Answer 1

Answer: All you have to do is change a couple words like storm to sunshine and give an explanation on how it changes parts of the story in this case it changes the setting which kind of changes the mood... if you do this with a couple other words you'll be done!
