5A-Tuck_Chapter+Six

There are two parts to this assignment, one related to each of the quotations written on the previous page.
 * Chapter Six**

//"...though her heart was pounding and **her backbone felt like a pipe full of cold running water**, her head was fiercely calm."

"Only then did it come to Winnie that she ought to shout, wave her arms, do something."// Michael Suji Kevin Michelle Carol Brian Allan James Jessica K Joseph Sally K Sally L Eva Jee Monica Jessica O Peter Jamie Christina Alex
 * 1) Notice the **bolded** part of the first quote. Was there really cold water running down her backbone? What is Babbitt trying to say here? Where else in the story so far has the author used this descriptive technique? (Can you find two?) Copy the quote (include the page in parenthesis) and tell us what you think the author is trying to describe.
 * 2) Why do you think Winnie did not do something when they came across the stranger along the road? Would you have done something? Why or why not?
