Art in the desert

Why did the writer's attitude change as he approached Black Rock City?

• He was relieved his journey had ended

• He saw how much there was to explore

• The weather conditions improved

• He was impressed by what he saw

What is the festival's main purpose?

• to gather together the best performers

• to build an environmentally-friendly city

• to set fire to a huge statue

• to get people involved in art

In the third paragraph, we learn that the city

• doesn't harm the desert

• takes a whole week to pull down

• isn't very well built

• becomes very dirty and dusty

The purpose of "pay-it-forward"(line 33) is to

• raise money for the festival

• make sure all participants are equal

• avoid the use of money

• help people make new friends

For the rest of the week, the writer

• remembers how free it made him feel

• thinks it was life-changing for him

• feels he didn't get the most out of it

• realises just how strange it was
