Answer:

Separated from the outside world, Elisa has few human connections.

Explanation:

The short story of "The Chrysanthemums" by John Steinbeck tells the story of a couple who are living in a rural ranch in the foothills of the Salinas valley. They hardly have any human interaction, especially the protagonist of our story, Elisa. She is depicted as being happy to be working in her own garden, but this was not entirely true for we see her eagerness to be involved in a conversation with strangers who come through the place.

John Steinbeck introduces the Salinas Valley as being like a <em>"closed pot"</em> which will also be symbolic for Elisa's character. It denotes the secluded nature of the place, just like her character's seclusion from the outside world. This is also evident when Elisa expresses her desire to be able to travel like the stranger, free and wherever she wants to instead of being stuck in a particular place. She is also aloof, with few human connections.

Well it really depends.

If you are describing a 12 year old girl, with brown hair and brown eyes it could go something like this:

"The young, twelve year old girl, had long brown curls that fell to her shoulders. Her chocolate brown eyes were as dark as her hair and stood out on her pale, freckled skin. She was - in short - lovely." 

If you are describing... let's say... a 16 year old boy with black hair and blue eyes it could go something like this:

"The young man turned his crystal blue eyes in my direction and I looked away quickly so as not to be caught staring. "How old are you?" He asked. "Sixteen," I replied timidly, twirling my long hair around my finger. "Me too," He replied, flicking his shoulder length black hair out of his eyes."
