Read this excerpt from the great fire.

claire and her family continued down the street when "a short, rough man grabbed at my bundle [but i] would not let it go. i called for father and almost lost my bundle except that another man took hold of [the man] and dragged him away. when i turned, i could not find father or mother or my sister or brothers. i ran down the sidewalk after them, calling their names and searching everywhere for a familiar face. they were gone — into the smoke and dark and falling fire."

i called for father and almost lost my bundle…
a short, rough man grabbed at my bundle…
i ran down the sidewalk after them, calling their names…
they were gone — into the smoke and dark and falling fire.
