When Bradbury claims, "Thus I fell into surprise"
(line 46), he's most nearly referring to the:
A. discovery that for him the secret to a creative out-
pouring was to use a word-association method to
write fiction.
B. long-forgotten experiences he would remember
when he would talk with his childhood friends in
person.
C. realization that he wrote more effectively about his
current experiences than about his past.
D. several methods other writers taught him to help
him write honest, authentic stories.
