Word Choice - Ginger Pye

Find a brilliant example of word choice in this week’s text!  Look for examples of the author "showing - not telling" by using sensory details within their writing.
Write the entire sentence and explain why you chose it.  Please include page number.

Example:  

"Bob’s face went ashen. His breathing came in ragged gasps." p.36

  1. I think that the sentences"Jerry didn't know why he was so certain that the person behind them was the same person that wanted his puppy,too. But he was. His heart pounded." (page 65 paragraph 3) is a show don't tell.
