Question

Create a paraphrase of the following sentence from “The Cold Equations:” "No!" She recoiled from him as though he had struck her, one hand half upraised as though to fend him off and stark unwillingness to believe in her eyes.

Answer 1

When she saw him and saw that his hand approached her she shouted "No!" and distanced away from him. She raised her hand as if to protect herself and at the same time to push him away from her. She is unwilling to be near him and him to be near her ever since the incident. She despised him so much that her blood boils at the sight of him. At the same time, the man felt it and saw in her eyes the anger that she felt over for him and could not move an inch closer to her. A moment has passed between the two and none spoke further.
