Why might the author have used such vivid, descriptive details to describe the town?
"Silent Springs"

Answer: To allow you to use imagery to see the town mentally.

Explanation:

Normally an author would only use descriptive vivid words to allow you to imagine something, for example “ A white rose with green petals sitting in a clear glass jar which was originally a cup for drinking water.” This sentence allows you to visualize the depiction.

For my own part a vivid dream has come to my help, and I see, almost as plainly as though I had seen it in actual fact, a blue-lit shadowy disheveled Cavor struggling in the grip of these insect Selenites, struggling ever more desperately and hopelessly as they press upon him, shouting, expostulating, perhaps even at last fighting, and being forced backwards step by step out of all speech or sign of his fellows, for evermore into the Unknown—into the dark, into that silence that has no end….

Read the following excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller and then answer the question that follows.


The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it; but I did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name. I left the well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me.


Which of the following best summarizes the excerpt?

1. Helen's teacher taught her to finger spell doll so she knew how to tell her teacher what toy she wanted to play with.

2. Helen's teacher taught her all objects have a name opening the world of language.

3. Helen liked to touch all the objects in the house so she knew which ones she wanted to play with.

4. Helen was excited to learn that everything had a name so that she could talk with her teacher.
