Section 2: page 20 – 47 As the Giant Moves

As the Giant moves, with his “feet pounding once again over the earth,” the author uses the words “running,” “galloping,” “leaped,” and “rattling” to describe some of the movement (page 21). What are some additional words that might be used to describe how the giant moves “over the earth”? Make a list. Use some of the words to describe how something or somebody moves “over the earth” in a different situation.
