Question

Read the following passage. Using complete sentences, describe the setting of the story and explain how details about the character or mood helped make the setting clear. In your response, use phrases and words from the passage to support your opinion. Omnari sped toward the island, increasing the speed of her Hover-Ski so it rose a full foot above the water. There was just enough sun to power it ... sun she would have enjoyed if not for the boring scavenger hunt her ancient history teacher assigned. She slowed as she spotted her target: the broken rusty arm gripping the torch and the severed metal head in a shattered crown staring sadly out to sea. Omnari blinked to take an EyePhoto, checked her list, and headed toward the crumbled city in the distance.

Answer 1

Omnari is a student going on a scavenger hunt because her history teacher assigned her to do it. She is in the ocean and is heading toward an island that holds some kind of important history.

Answer 2

Hey kiddo. I haven't done this in a while, but I think I understand the concept.

We can assume the setting is as the beach, but if you want to be more precise, we are positive this part of the story is taking place at sea. "Omnari sped toward the island, increasing the speed of her Hover-Ski so it rose a full foot above the water" This quote proves that the setting is taking place on water, and, "....severed metal head in a shattered crown staring sadly out to sea," this quote proves it is at sea. The mood being created in the story is located in this excerpt of the story. "...full foot above the water. There was just enough sun to power it...." It is trying to evoke a sunny, ordinary yet untraditional feeling in the reader.
