1 A child鈥檚 clutter awaits an adult鈥檚 return (Title)
Meaning beyond words: Here the word clutter refers to the many small personal items collected by
children in the course of their growing up. All these things are important and dear memories to
them. No matter where they are or how far away they are from home, the clutter remains a bond
between them and the family, representing a happy childhood.

1 I watch her back her new truck out of the driveway. The vehicle is too large, too expensive. She'd
refused to consider a practical car with good gas efficiency and easy to park. It's because of me, I
think. She bought it to show me that she could.

I watch her back her new truck out of the driveway. (Para. 1)
Note: Notice that the mother is telling a story that happened in the past. She uses the past tense to
describe
the
events
that
happened
before
her
daughter
left
home. But
when
she
describes
the
events that happened after her daughter left, she uses the present tense. By manipulating the past
tense and the present tense, the author achieves immediacy in time, and produces the effect of
great vividness. This use of the present tense to describe past events is referred to as
鈥渢he
narrative
p
resent鈥?nbsp;or 鈥渢he dramatic present鈥?/p>

The vehicle is too large, too expensive. (Para. 1)
Meaning beyond words: Here with too large and too expensive, the mother expresses her
d
isagreement with her daughter鈥檚 decision to buy such a large and expensive truck.
