    Yes, I like this extract because it uses many strong adjectives and descriptive words to
    describe the settings, and also what the people were wearing. It makes the extract more
    appealing and vivid. I also like this extract because the strong adjectives and descriptive
    also helps me to get a fuller picture of the things that the narrator is describing.
