Giving Conclusions to Realistic Fiction

Miss Ranin politely excused herself and left the breakfast table. She was not feeling well. She had been resting in her cabin for some time when she smelled smoke. She thought it was from the machine room. Then, she heard an alarm. “Maybe it’s just the fog horn,” she said to herself. But when she opened her cabin door, she saw people running and going up to the upper deck. Smoke was everywhere. She grabbed a life jacket from under her bed and put on her overcoat. In a few minutes, she was outside her cabin. “This way!” a man said. “I must find my brother,” she said as she followed the man. “There is no time!” the man said as he pushed her towards the lifeboat.
