Document Summary
Text questions: what do you think the author wants you to know about him/her? (for example, what does he/she care about?) The author wrote this story to tell her readers about a near-death experience on a flight. She appreciated this experience very much because she and other passengers on the plane had got very close in the matter of hours because of this. She was clearly not able to remain calm under this situation, but she still managed to encourage other people and for this she received comforting words from others. 2. where do you see evidence of what the author wants you to know about him/her?
