Narrative Structure CFU (check for Understanding)

Sort elements

• the narrator of the story, says of herself, "And I remember, that year, a strange restlessness of body and of spirit, a feeling that something old and familiar was ending, and something unknown and therefore terrifying was beginning."
• "____________ was three years younger than I, and a boy, and therefore vastly inferior."
• "Her smooth skin was a dark reddish brown, and her face had Indian-like features and the stern stoicism that one associates with Indian faces." She planted marigolds every year.
• "Black and ageless, he sait rocking day in and day out in a mindless stupor, lulled by the monotonous squeak-squawk of the chair. A battered hat atop his shaggy head shaded him from the sun. Usually __________ was totally unaware of everything outside his quiet dream world."
• “And suddenly _______ sobbed, loudly and painfully, and cried helplessly and hopelessly into the dark night. I had never heard a man cry before. I did not even know men ever cried. I covered my ears with my hands but could not cut off the sound of __________'s harsh, painful, despairing sobs.”
