Read this excerpt from the text “look homeward, angel.” with his great hands he had laid the foundations, burrowed out deep musty cellars in the earth, and sheeted the tall sides over with smooth trowellings of warm brown plaster. he had very little money, but his strange house grew to the rich modelling of his fantasy: when he had finished he had something which leaned to the slope of his narrow uphill yard, something with a high embracing porch in front, and warm rooms where one stepped up and down to the tackings of his whim. which best describes the author’s use of style in this excerpt? the author uses words such as fantasy and whim to suggest oliver’s unconventional personality. the author uses words such as burrowed and leaned to suggest oliver’s inept attempt at building. the author uses words such as foundations and trowellings to suggest oliver’s expertise. the author uses words such as money and rich to suggest oliver’s interest in consumerism.
