- "There is a path through the willows and among the sycamores, a path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool, and beaten hard by tramps who come wearily down from the highway in the evening to jungle-up near water."
Explanation:
This question refers to the story "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck
.
Descriptive language consists of the actual verbal representation of an object, person, landscape, animal, emotion, and practically everything that can be put into words.
This type of text intends for the reader to obtain an exact image of the reality that we are transmitting in words, a kind of “verbal painting”.
The mood that the beginning of this story transmits to us is that of a peaceful place, with warm water and abundant nature.
The author uses this technique so that we as readers can get fully into the story, imagining each thing as the author really wants, and that we have a vivid image of what we are reading.
