Author's Style-I\n\nReread the first paragraph of Of Mice and Men on page 1.This descriptive paragraphgives you a clear picture of what this place on the river is like.Although Steinbeck hasmostly told you how the place looks,you can almost feel the warm water and thedamp sand and hear a lizard skittering through the leaves or a deer lapping water atthe river's edge.  \nThink of a place outdoors—it can be your own backyard,a favorite vacation spot,or avacant lot.Close your eyes and spend some time imagining you are there.Make a fewnotes in the\"thought balloon\"map below.Then write a

aboutWestern magazines and the table with the playing cards on it tell you somethingabout how the men spend their time.  \nPicture your own room.Write a paragraph describing your room,and be sure

especially good at doing,and how other peoplereact.Make a list of these qualities on the back of your paper
