Read this excerpt from "Collision Course.” Now I felt like a friendless alien in this wide-open suburb. The openness of it just
made me feel small and more alone. In our apartment in the Richmond District, there were always people walking around, and the neighborhood was always humming with fruit sellers, taquerias, and restaurants, especially Chinese restaurants and my favorite, dim sum bakeries.

Our neighborhood was alive. It was my dream childhood. In this excerpt, the author uses descriptive language mainly to
appeal to the reader’s sense of taste. explain many of the things he misses. share his favorite places in Richmond. appeal to the reader’s sense of smell.
