I included the visuals in this post because it reminds me of the descriptions that the book offers in one particular part of the book. In the first few pages of the book the main character describes in detail his experiences with food and his daily life. Because he described the event so clearly I could picture a feather like this one and an omelette like the one below. The following passage described it perfectly and vividly.

``How vividly there still lingers on my plate the suety aftertaste of the Salisbury steak at Bickford`s, or Riker`s western omelette, in which one night, nearly swooning, I found a greenish, almost incorprel feather and a tiny embryonic beak.`` (Styron, 13)

This passage could really get me to picture what he was saying and what he was really seeing. The word choice that the author gave was very descriptive.








Or the next passage that I read a few lines down was a good description of sarcasm and humor, along with the fact that it was still be descriptive of food.

``Or the gristle embedded like an impacted tumor int he lamb chops at the Athens Chop House, the chops themselves tasting of old sheep, the mashed potatoes glutinous, rancid, plainly reconstituted with Greek cunning from dehydrated government surplus filched from some warehouse.`` (Styron,13) I have put these images because this is what I think of when i read the passage.
