Question
What does the author notice one Sunday afternoon? What is his mother’s reaction? What does she do?
Answer
On a Sunday afternoon, the author noticed smoke pouring in through the seams of the ceiling, which quickly filled the room.
His mother’s reaction was one of panic and urgency, but she acted bravely. She first ran out of the house with her children. Then, she ran back into the burning house twice: first to rescue a small metal box containing important documents, and a second time to save his late father’s pictures and letters, which were her only memories of him.
