Question

mom about all the imaginary creatures we had discover jabbering didnt annoy me the way it usually did. i even myself smiling as i listened. as dad was pulling out the cupcakes, we heard a loud screech. then the shadow of enormous wings swooped across the patch of sunlight in the clearing. looking up, we saw a hawk circle above us and perch at the top of an old tree.
o way!\ cried raj, \an actual hawk!\ i gazed at the hawk. \thats amazing.\ the hawk stayed in the tree for the entire picnic. as we departed, i glanced back and gasped. for just an instant, the shadows of the leaves made the hawk look exactly like a dragon. (image of kids by a stream with a hawk flying) 1) what is the most likely reason why sahana thinks the hawk looks like a dragon? she has learned how to look at things in the imaginative way raj does. she believes that dragons are real after spending time with raj. she is having trouble seeing clearly because of the leaves and shadows. she is confusing the hawk in the tree with one of rajs toy dragons.
