Kiara is polishing one of her short stories for a writing
contest. she wants to be sure to hook her readers' attention
from the start so they will keep reading. the story begins
with this paragraph:
it was the oldest oak on the property. every autumn, its
leaves were a stunning mix of red and orange hues. its
arms could easily bear the weight of ten men. and i hated
that i was the one in charge of chopping it down.
why does kiara include the detail "i was the one in charge
of chopping it down" in her story's opening?
