It truly helps you see that this was a huge deal when it was invented. https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039365 https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039365 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 14:44:50 -0400 I think this is a very important part to have in this book because it truly shows you how vital it is that everyone does their job so that they get to their destination without being harmed. https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039364 https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039364 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 14:36:27 -0400 The way they explain the train being heavy and the bridge being narrow and creaking helps you picture the whole scene in your head. It also helps you realize that it was scary and nerve racking experience. https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039363 https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039363 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 14:32:18 -0400 The author gives you a wonderful image of what it would look like to travel in a train and things that you would see and hear. https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039328 https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039328 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 13:37:17 -0400 I like it that he isn't just explaining exactly how a train sounds, looks, and works he sort of gives you a brief look at the history as well and things that happened afterwards. https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039327 https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039327 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 13:34:52 -0400 The author gives you some information on a train but also helps you picture what it all looks like at the same time. https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039326 https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039326 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 13:30:41 -0400 The way that the author puts in so many onomatopoeias really brings the train to life. You can almost see it right in front of you! https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039321 https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039321 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 13:08:08 -0400 I love that the very first sentence tells you that there is a new road but it isn't your ordinary road. He gives you a hint but not a super obvious one. This was an amazing hook to grab the readers attention to continue reading. https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039320 https://nowcomment.com/documents/77821?scroll_to=1039320 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 12:54:52 -0400
