Classwork Feb 8th: 1.** The following is from John Steinbeck's famous novel //The Grapes of Wrath//, first published in 1939. As you read this paragraph, see if you can identify all the [|prepositional phrases] used by Steinbeck to convey the dramatic return of rain after a long, painful drought. //Underline the prepositional phrases.//


 * Original Paragraph by John Steinbeck**

__Over the high coast mountains__ and __over the valleys__ the gray clouds marched i__n from the ocean__. The wind blew fiercely and silently, high __in the air,__ and it swished __in the brush__, and it roared i__n the forests__. The clouds came i__n brokenly, in puffs, in folds, in gray crags__; and they piled __in together__ and settled low over the west. And then the wind stopped and left the clouds deep and solid. The rain began with gusty showers, pauses and downpours; and then gradually __it settled__ to a single tempo, small drops and a steady beat, rain that was gray to see through, rain that cut midday light to evening. And at first the dry earth sucked the moisture __down and blackened__. For two days the earth drank the rain, __until the earth was ful__l. Then puddles formed, and in the low places little lakes formed in the fields. The muddy lakes rose higher, and the steady rain whipped the shining water. At last the mountains were full, and the hillsides spilled into the streams, built them to freshets, and sent them roaring down the canyons into the valleys. The rain beat on steadily. And the streams and the little rivers edged up to the bank sides and worked at willows and tree roots, bent the willows deep in the current, cut out the roots of cotton-woods and brought down the trees. The muddy water whirled along the bank sides and crept up the banks until at last it spilled over, into the fields, into the orchards, into the cotton patches where the black stems stood. Level fields became lakes, broad and gray, and the rain whipped up the surfaces. Then the water poured over the highways, and cars moved slowly, cutting the water ahead, and leaving a boiling muddy wake behind. The earth whispered under the beat of the rain, and the streams thundered under the churning freshets.
