Earthquake Terror

Using at least three examples from the text, analyze Jonathan’s character and the transformation he undergoes during the novel. 

Kehret shifts the narrative’s point of view several times to enhance the narrative. Choose two perspectives other than Jonathan’s and explain how each perspective adds elements to the story that would otherwise be impossible to achieve. Why might Kehret have chosen to omit Mrs. Palmer’s point of view?

Kehret often uses simile and metaphor to intensify her descriptions. Identify three examples of such imagery that the guide does not discuss, and explain how each use of imagery enhances the emotional intensity of the scene.
