The author's writing is powerful. It helps me visualize the scene. When Ponyboy,Darry, and Soda are racing each other home S.E. Hinton writes"...The air was so clear and cold and so clean it almost sparkled. The moon wasn't out but the stars lit up everything..." When I read this I visualize the three Curtis boys racing each other down the street. I see the sky up above them with stars sparkling brighting up the dim night. S.E. Hinton uses great sensory language that makes the scene come alive in my mind like it's actually happening.
