Descriptive language is the use of certain words that gives a clear and more descriptive image of what is being discussed or talked about. It provides in-depth detail about how something looks.
In the given passage from Jack London's "The Call of the Wild", the descriptive language shows how dry and tough the meat is. This is evident from the phrases like<em> "In its frozen state it was more like strips of galvanized iron"</em> and how hard it must have been, considering the narrator's comment that<em> "when a dog wrestled it into his stomach it thawed into thin and innutritious leathery strings and into a mass of short hair, irritating and indigestible."
