Dropping the kite from his hand, Max broke out into full sobs. His mother comforted him, “There, there, Max. We’ll just find something else to do.” She began to unpack the picnic basket that was on the counter and offered him a sandwich. Max snapped, “I don’t wanna sand-mich!” A flash from the sky lit up the living room. Boom! Mom sighed.

THE MATCH

PLESE HELP WITH IT !!
There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.


Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.


In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

When he fell down a second time, the dog curled its tail over its forefeet and sat in front of him, facing him, curiously eager and intent.

As a reader, you need to be aware that authors make word choices. As an author, you are responsible for choosing your words carefully. Why is word choice so important? Note the following list of words. Each one means a shade of the color red.

red:scarlet blood rust maroon flame cherry ruddy



NARRATOR: Look at the word red. It’s a good word for illustrating the importance of word choices. You could use the word red in a sentence, but you could also use other words that mean the color red. Such words could be found in a thesaurus, which is similar to a dictionary but contains synonyms of words. There you might find words like: scarlet, blood, rust, maroon, flame, cherry, and ruddy.

The moon was blood red. The moon was rust colored. The moon was a great cherry in the sky.

All three sentences mean the same thing, but they each have a different connotation, which means emotional impact, feeling, or mood. A moon described as “blood red” has a creepy kind of feeling. A “rust colored” moon could mean that the year is aging like a rusting piece of metal. A “cherry moon” is a happy moon, making the reader think of warm summer evenings.







There are even more words out there that mean the color red. Such words can be found in a reference book called a thesaurus. A thesaurus is similar to a dictionary except that instead of definitions, it contains synonyms of words. A thesaurus is a great way to add sparkle to your writing.



Why are so many different words necessary? To find out, read the following sentences:

1 –The moon was blood red.

2 –The moon was rust colored.

3 –The moon was a great cherry in the sky.



All three sentences mean the same thing, but they each have a different connotation. Connotation just means emotional impact, feeling, or mood. A moon described as “blood red” has a creepy kind of feeling—the feeling that something has or is just about to go very wrong. A “rust colored” moon indicates more of a fall feeling, and could mean that the year is getting old like a piece of metal left out to rust in the rain. A cherry moon is a happy moon; it makes the reader think of summer time and warm evenings. Are you starting to understand the power of choosing just the right word to describe the moon?

Look back at the beginning of Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado.” Poe starts the story with the sentence, “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.”

Why do you think Poe wrote that? Why didn’t he just write, “Fortunato insulted me, so I decided to get even”? Think about the connotations of the words “injuries,” “insult,” and “revenge.” These words were chose to create a particular feeling at the beginning of this dark story.
