Read the passage below. What is the author's purpose? The day was almost over and we were about to load the buses to go home when we heard the tornado sirens. We looked at my teacher so she could tell us what to do. She guided us through the tornado drill steps. Except this time, it was real. While we all stayed in position in the hallway and waited
until the storm passed, it got very uncomfortable on our knees. We were
crouched low and had our hands covering our heads. The time seemed to
pass by slowly. Finally an announcement was made that we were able to
go home. We got home so late that day, but I know it was safer for us to
stay in the building than to be on the buses during that storm. I'm glad no
one got hurt!
