How does the writer use language to create a strong impact on the reader? Use examples.

The writer uses strong meaningful language; mainly adjectives to create a strong impact on the reader. 'Steinbeck' uses adjectives such as; 'dark, motionless, humid, quiet' to describe what the night was like; these words can have an impact on the reader and evokes a sense of suspense in the atmosphere which can have a strong impact on the reader as such words can easily allow the reader to feel what is happening in the extract.
