Last week we finished reading the novel Of Mice and Men, I thought John Steinbeck used really descriptive words which helped make his vision clear of what the town and the people looked like. He put volumes of details in to the appereances and the personality traits of the characters so when we watched the movie the characters were like what Jonh Steinbeck had described of them in the novel. An example of a descriptive scene is when he describes the Salinas River that George and Lennie arrive at on their way to the ranch. In this scene Jonh uses loads of imagery, he uses visual, audio, flavour, scent and kinesthetic

The Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool. On one side of the river the golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and rocky Gablian mountains, but on the valley side the water is lined with trees --- 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. On the sandy bank under the trees the leaves lie deep and so crisp that a lizard makes a great skittering if he runs amoung them.
