Many science fiction stories take place in the future, or in an imaginary world. 5. “Zaaaaaaaap!”

  30. Workbook page 208 The story says that Maitn and Josha are not family, but that they’re very close. I think that they are neighbors. Answers will vary. Sample Response: Fossil fuels had run out and a drought made it difficult to get hydroelectric power. An earthquake caused damage to many nuclear power plants.

  31. Sample Response: Josha and Maitn are in danger when they are in the tree during the storm. Once turned on during a storm, the vacuum causes lots of electricity flow through the atmosphere. Some of that energy could stray. A tall object such as a tree would be likely to attract that electricity. Workbook page 208 Sample Response: A pear can give Josha hope, which is something important.
