Read the passage from the johnstown flood. but he had gone only a short way when he saw the wave, almost on top of him, demolishing everything, and he knew he could never make it. there was a split second of indecision, then he turned back to the hill, running with all his might as the water surged along the street after him. in the last few seconds, fighting the current around him that kept getting deeper and faster every second, he reached the hillside just as the wave pounded by below. looking behind he saw his house rock back and forth, then lunge sideways, topple over, and disappear. gertrude never saw the wave. the sight of the crowds jamming through the street had so terrified her aunt and libby hipp that they had pulled back from the window, horrified, dragging her with them into an open cupboard. what are the effects of showing the arrival of the wave from two perspectives: that of gertrude’s father outside, and of gertrude inside the house? select all that apply. the johnstown flood it keeps track of different groups in gertrude’s family throughout the events of the flood. it breaks up the chronological order of the scene by explaining what caused the wave. it shows both how the wave appeared from the outside, and what it felt like to be inside it. it makes the scene more dramatic, because readers know what is coming, while gertrude does not.
