Answer:
At the beginning, the character/ speaker describes his kindergarten school during the tension or fearness of the real cold war when it happened. He shows how a bell in late afternoon alarmed them. They were then sent into the hallway in a queue/line. He shows how the children were led when there was an atomic bomb drill alert, especially when he mentions the position in which they had to stay. They were practicing what to do in the situation of real bombing (bomb drill).
During one of the bomb surviving practices, he describes a classmate, a small girl named Annette, who was probably killed during one of the drills. The speaker’s mother even complained that he talked every time about her and about how pretty she was as he was fond of her.The speaker still remembers her with curly hair and a pretty dress. Annette was worried about how the little children practised the bomb drills. The speaker told Annette that there was nothing to worry in bomb drills as they were not real bombs, they were just sound effects, they were bomb drills and they would not die .
He reflects on what is going to happen because of the war. He realises that the most dangerous things aren’t the bombs, but the war itself. The speaker had seen the young children, waiting for the bomb, turned into old people and died. The speaker is talking about the persistent (non stop, repeated) fear of a bomb attack that accompany people till they become old or till they die.
