D. H. Lawrence, "The Horse-Dealer's Daughter"

1. What effect does sentence length have on this passage?
Sentence 1 is a short sentence which sets the scene and sentence 2 is a long sentence which describes the scene using tactile images. The tactile images are used when describe the clay and water. An example is "deep" and "soft" when describing the clay and "clasped" and "cold" when describing the water. The use of tactile images is interesting because it uses scenery aspects to form an image. Therefore, the readers will experience the imagery.

2. Examine the second sentence. How does the structure of the sentence reinforce the meaning?
The short phrases enforce the description, this makes the first sentence more impactful and creates more descriptive imagery. The structure of the second sentence enforces the meaning of the first sentence.
