• Reread the short story to answer these text-dependent comprehension questions.
• Write any additional questions you have about the text in your Reader/Writer Notebook.
1. Craft and Structure: Explain how specific aspects of the setting create an atmosphere that fits the action at the beginning of the story.
2. Craft and Structure: What sensory details can you find in paragraphs 8–11? If possible, name one for each sense: taste, smell, touch, sight, and hearing.
3. Key Ideas and Details: The author distinguishes Greg from Lemon by the way they speak. How would you describe Lemon Brown, based on what he says? How would you describe Greg?
