    Character and Setting DAY 2


    READ THE PASSAGE   Think about the characters and setting of the passage.

    Wendy’s Walk
    Wendy was hot, tired, and bored. She trudged along behind her brother, Bill, as they
    hiked up the steep trail to the cabin at the fire lookout tower. Buzzards circled lazily in the
    sky above them, and Wendy wondered whether they would eat her bones if she died out
    here. The sun was too hot, the trees and bushes were ugly, and the hike was boring.
    “Almost there!” Bill said cheerily. This was his first summer working as a fire spotter at
    the state park. He would be staying on top of a mountain all summer, watching for fires in
    the forest. He was excited and had not noticed how tired Wendy had become.
    Finally, Wendy couldn’t take another step unless she rested first. She sat in the shade
    of a tall pine tree and drank lemonade from her canteen. Bill continued on for a few more
    moments before realizing that Wendy was no longer behind him.
    “Sorry,” he said, returning and sitting beside his sister. “I forgot your legs are shorter
    than mine.” Wendy stuck her tongue out at her brother but then quickly smiled when he
    handed her some dried strawberries and peanuts from his backpack. “If you chew them
    together, it’s like making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in your mouth,” he said.
    The strawberries and peanuts tasted delicious. Wendy closed her eyes, stretched her
    arms and legs, and wiggled her toes in her hiking boots. She heard a songbird twittering
    in a nearby bush and caught the smell of wildflowers. Suddenly the sun didn’t seem so
    hot, and the trees weren’t as ugly anymore.
