Directions: Read the passage, and answer the question that follows. "The afternoon sun sat in its cloudless sky, blazing mercilessly as I trudged home from school. I was weighed down by a backpack full of heavy textbooks; the straps cut into my aching shoulders. Salty sweat poured down my bright red face, stinging my eyes. The hot air was heavy with the sour stench of car exhaust and rotting food." Add a sentence to the passage above. In your sentence, include a detail or two that would trigger a reader's sense of sound. For example, you might add a sentence describing the sound of the cars or the other people on the street.
As I walked down the street all I could hear was the rattles and reves of engines zooming alongside of and right past me. As I was passing a group of younger kids I could hear muffled giggles coming from the group. What the gigggles were about I don't know, but they were joyious and fun filled.
