The author shows the speed of the fire, because the guy with the 600,000 value said my house will be burnt under 15 minutes.It has a lot of tension because  they had to carry trunks and realized that they couldn't save their stuff because the fire was everywhere. In leaving Desire  uses imagery by toxic water and how high the water levels are.First it says toxic It water so I know how the water was good or bad.It also said that it could make you very sick and even kill you.Then it says how high the water was.It told me this to show me how high the water is.Also the scope for the second story is a narrow scope and it much slower than the other story about the fire.All in all both storys used imagery and had scopes in it.
