Read this excerpt from "A Visit from the Goon Squad." Whatever the reason, a swell of approval palpable as rain lifted from the center of the crowd and rolled out toward its edges, where it crashed against buildings and water wall and rolled back at Scotty with redoubled force, lifting him off his stool, onto his feet (the roadies quickly adjusting the microphones), exploding the quavering husk Scotty had appeared to be just moments before and unleashing something strong, charismatic, and fierce. Anyone who was there that day will tell you the concert really started when Scotty stood up. How does the author portray Scotty in this excerpt?

Respuesta :

The author first portrays Scotty as timid on stage. He is sitting on his stool and performing without a great deal of energy. However, when the energy and positive reaction from the crowd hit him like a wave, he gains his confidence. He stands up and begins to perform with energy and enthusiasm. He is first described as a "quavering husk". It gives the image of him almost hiding like an ear of corn inside its protective husk. Then he is described as strong, charismatic and fierce - a significant change from when he first took the stage.
A the crowds transformed by his response is your answer.
