It was the sea eagle that called Emily down to the beach. It hovered above the waves, it's broad wings dusty where the land had left its mark, its small eyes that could follow the horizon bright and keen.
She hadn't meant to come down onto the beach. She'd meant to sit at the top of the ramp till the other kids had left the street, till she could walk home from school in peace without strangers staring at her, but somehow the bird seemed to urge her to come down.

Which textual evidence best describes Emily's thoughts and feelings? 

• "... till she could walk home from school in peace..."
• "... sea eagle that called Emily..."
• "... its broad wings dusty..."
• "... the bird seemed to urge her to come down."

if you would help us home. But you are mad,

unbearable, a bloody monster! After this,

will any other traveller come to see you?'
