This is describing the clouds in the storm and what the storm looked like.  (126)]]> 2022-05-24 12:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/lkua28yfq660nji6/wish/2197645875 27diciccos https://padlet.com/depeaua/lkua28yfq660nji6/wish/2197646329 “the dull dead heat of the breathless atmosphere”(126)

earsplitting explosive bursts, keen and sharp, and
unspeakably appalling.“ Pg. 127.

 The reason i chose this line from the text is because it is very descriptive of the thunder. It uses a lot of long descriptive words such as explosive, earsplitting, keen, sharp, and unflagging. ]]> 2022-05-24 12:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/lkua28yfq660nji6/wish/2197647127 https://padlet.com/depeaua/lkua28yfq660nji6/wish/2197647175
“One blinding flash after another came, and peal on peal of deafening thunder.” (127) 

I chose this quote because I feel that it demonstrates show not tell and it describes thunder and lightning without saying lightning.]]> 2022-05-24 12:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/lkua28yfq660nji6/wish/2197647175 27hazleyb https://padlet.com/depeaua/lkua28yfq660nji6/wish/2197647426 “A furious blast roared through the trees, making everything sing as it went” (page 126-127)

A few big raindrops fell pattering upon the leaves.”(126).
