Read the passage.
the storm
i was home alone one night while an apocalyptic storm raged outside, rain beating incessantly on the roof, wind causing the branches of the ancient oak tree to scratch against my window like deathly fingers.
suddenly, the lights went out. i scrambled to find a flashlight, only to discover that it would not turn on. shaking it wildly, i soon realized that the batteries were dead. my pulse had just returned to normal when i heard pounding on the door. as i tiptoed to look out the window, i caught a glimpse of my stricken expression in the hall mirror and valiantly tried to swallow my terror.
there, standing on the front porch, was my older brother, drenched from head to toe and glowering at me through his dripping hair.
how does the author create surprise in “the storm”?
a) the personification of the trees and the wind shocks readers; it is unusual for someone to be this afraid of a storm.
b) the description of the storm creates a somber mood; this contrasts the narrator’s happiness upon seeing his brother.
c) the first two paragraphs build tension, making the reader think something horrible is about to happen.
d) the vivid and terrifying description of the storm and house contrast the narrator’s expectations.

Abig total of my last 30 points and brainliest for if u go to my previous questions u can awnser the 100 pointers think of an intense argument you had or witnessed sometime in your life. close your eyes and remember every detail. to turn this into a dramatic scene you will need to make changes that will make it make more sense to the audience. 500-600 words a description of the set up that explains what happened before the scene diction that matches the characters character objectives and obstacles are clearly conveyed a scene that escalates in dramatic intensity diction that is appropriate to the audience words that are not wasted in idle chit chat action (stage directions) that enhance the scene proper formatting for drama
