Read this excerpt from "look homeward, angel." and whatever he touched in that rich fortress of his soul sprang into golden life: as the years passed, the fruit trees—the peach, the plum, the cherry, the apple—grew great and bent beneath their clusters. his grape vines thickened into brawny ropes of brown and coiled down the high wire fences of his lot, and hung in a dense fabric, upon his trellises, roping his domain twice around. they climbed the porch end of the house and framed the upper windows in thick bowers. and the flowers grew in rioting glory in his yard—the velvet-leaved nasturtium, slashed with a hundred tawny dyes, the rose, the snowball, the redcupped tulip, and the lily. the author uses sensory details in this excerpt to create images of excess and riches, to suggest gant’s interest in materialism. shades and barriers, to suggest gant’s need for privacy. colorful sceneries, to suggest gant’s artistic aptitude. bountiful harvests, to suggest gant’s agricultural success.
