40 Literary History A tall tale is a humorous, highly exaggerated story, often about a legendary hero. Many American tall tales were created during the 1800s as the United States expanded westward.

Answer: The tone becomes more serious as the reader is about to learn of something bad that has happened. The words terrible catastrophe hint at a change in tone.

71 Present Perfect Tense The tense of a verb expresses time. To form the present perfect tense, use the helping verb have or has and the past participle of the main verb. (For most verbs, the past participle is the same as the past tense.)
72 Use the present perfect tense to talk about an action or a condition that occurred at some indefinite time in the past. For example: We learn in the story that Pecos Bill has invented tarantulas and scorpions as practical jokes.
73 Also use this tense to talk about something that happened and is still happening now. For example: I have always imagined the Hell s Gate Gang as a tough-looking bunch of cowboys.
74 Practice Think about Pecos Bill and what happens to him in the story. Then write your own sentences about the story using present perfect tense. Make sure your sentences are consistently in the past tense or consistently about something that is happening now.
75 Apply Tone Think about an interesting person you know. What does this person look like? Does he or she have special characteristics or abilities? How would you describe his or her personality traits? Write a character sketch. How could you exaggerate this person s traits to make the person into a larger-than-life hero?
76 Describe what your hero looks like and the amazing things this hero can do. Choose words and details that create a humorous tone. Selection Resources For Selection Quizzes, eflashcards, and Reading-Writing Connection activities, go to glencoe.com and enter QuickPass code GL19756u1.
