 Let us identify!
“When I wake up, the other side of the bed is
cold. My fingers stretch out, seeking Prim’s
warmth but finding only the rough canvas cover
of the mattress. She must have had bad dreams
and climbed in with our mother. Of course, she
did. This is the day of the reaping.”
What effect does this passage bring to readers?
1. Something called the reaping is about to happen,
and it’s nightmare-inducing.
2. Readers want to know what the reaping is.
