5C+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."// Jennifer Daniel Katherine Madeleine Joonyon Alissa Mickey Amanda Ryan Linette Sarah Yena Hans Annie Rachel Rosaria Wonjune Sarah C. Francis
 * 1) Notice the **bolded** part of the first quote. What type of figurative language does Babbitt use in this 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 type of figurative language? (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?
