"...willows fresh and green with every spring, carrying in their lower leaf junctures the debris of the winter's flooding: and sycamores with mottled, white, recumbent limbs and branches that arch over the pool"
"...and the damp flats are covered with the night tracks of 'coons..."
"...beaten hard by tramps who come wearily down from the highway in the evening...
"A stilted heron labored up into the air and pounded down river"
"They had walked in single file down the path..."
"George unslung his bindle and dropped it gently on the bank"
"George stared morosely at the water"
"A water snake slipped along on the pool, its head held up like a little periscope"
John Ernst Steinbeck, was a great American writer. He was known for the Prize-winning novel The Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden and the novel Of Mice and Men. He is the author twenty-seven books, including sixteen novels, six non-fiction books and five short stories, Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962. I like Steinbeck is mainly because he uses imagery like no other author that I know of. The descriptive words he uses make it seem like you are right there where all the action is taking place.
