The character payed attention to how the girl that seem to be the leader was walking saying “she came down a little hard on her heels, as if she didn’t walk in her bare feet much” this quote helps you picture how the person and might help picture what the girl was walking like. He gave details to where he was and what he was doing when the three girls was doing.

He runs down to the back of the castle where his bike was. He turned the corner and all of sudden he was in a muddle. His bike was gone.

He tears his way through the wreckage, hunting for medical supplies, canteens of water, food and any thing he thought necessary for he and his sole companion's

Ethan runs out of the kitchen, and up to the stairs into his room. He jumps on his bed.

Oil on canvas was the medium used on ‘Steamboat Leaving Boulogne’. Traditional oil paints used oil, or charcoal. The painting used different thinned paints which were mixed with either linseed oil or other solvents. To make the boats to stand out, he used several layers of thicker paints so as to get the texture and appearance he desired.
