Close-Reading Questions
“The Evil Swirling Darkness”
1. Reread the first four sentences of the article. How does the fourth sentence differ from the
first three? Why might author Lauren Tarshis have started her story this way? (author’s craft)
2. In the section “Tornado Mysteries,” why does the author describe tornadoes as “stubbornly
mysterious”? (interpreting text, figurative language)
3. When the author describes tornadoes as “stubbornly mysterious,” she is personifying
tornadoes—assigning a human characteristic to them—by suggesting that they intentionally
remain unpredictable. Where else in the article does the author personify tornadoes? What
effect does this use of personification create? (figurative language, author’s craft)

when he saw it. Which details in the article help explain why Piotrowski was able to identify
the tornado?
(inference, text evidence)
5. What mood does Tarshis create in the final paragraph of “Vicious Attack”? How does she
create this mood, and why do you think she creates it?
(mood, author’s craft)
6. In the section “Healing a City,” what do the stories of the Piotrowskis and the Satterlees
have in common?
(compare and contrast)
