Shea Best · Answer 1

The rising action shows Bill fearlessly taking on the storm

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the writer painted the tornado as fierce, tough, roaring loud. The attitude of Bill in handling the fierceness of this tornado proves that he is a fearless man. " He grabbed it, shoved it to the ground, and straddled it!"

Despite the attempt of the storm to throw him down, Bill, being a fearless and courageous man, remained calm throughout the process.

" Whipping and whirling, it tried to throw him off, but Bill jest rode along nice and calm until finally he tamed it."
