Journalist: Hi, I’m a journalist from The New York Times, my name is Anthony. Before I start this interview, I would like you to know that if any questions make you uncomfortable you don’t have to answer them. Student: okay. Journalist: So, how did it all begin? Student: It was Wednesday, and school started like any other day, until the last period during which I was in the library with a few other students. We heard a gunshot in the corridor. We panicked immediately until we regained our teacher and hid under the desk. We waited for a long 30 minutes before we heard another gunshot, then another, that’s when we realized that the shooter was coming nearer to the library. Journalist: My god! What next? Student: We decided to run to the back of the library where it was very dark, we figured he wouldn’t find us there. Journalist: Smart move! What happened after? Student: We crawled to the back and felt relatively safe for a while. The window was open and the sun was setting! We had been in school for nearly four hours! Journalist: Wow. Student: Only after it got dark the police burst into the library and helped us all to safety. Journalist: Hopefully there were no casualties, but a teacher was injured. Student: Yes. Journalist: Thank you very much. Student: You’re welcome. Please make it a good article, it could’ve been worse; we need security in our schools.
This isn’t much but I hope it helps! <3 good luck on your assignment!!
Are there options? because there are several literary devices used in the poem such as alliteration, personification,metaphors, simile. Hope i could help
The correct option is THE WORD CHOICE DARKENS THE TONE. From the passage it can be seen that the author took care to use words that will arouse and sustain the suspense of the readers. The word choice in the excerpt gives the passage a dark tone that will raise the curiosity of the reader about the eventual outcome of the event stated in the passage.
