23. Evaluate the following descriptive paragraph. How well does it appeal to the reader's senses? What is the overall effect?
"About 15 miles below Monterey, on the wild coast, the Torres family had their farm, a few
sloping acres above a cliff that dropped to the brown reefs and to the hissing white waters of
the ocean. Behind the farm the stone mountains stood up against the sky. The farm buildings
huddled like the clinging aphids on the mountain skirts, crouched low to the ground as though
the wind might blow them into the sea. The little shack, the rattling, rotting barn were gray-
bitten with sea salt, beaten by the damp wind until they had taken on the color of the granite
hills. Two horses, a red cow and a red calf, half a dozen pigs and a flock of lean, multi-colored
chickens stocked the place. A little corn was raised on the sterile slope, and it grew short and
thick under the wind, and all the cobs formed on the landward sides of the stalks."
John Steinbeck, “Flight"
