Firstly, I will discuss how Frazier creates visual, graphic images through his writing. Frazier always presents us with a lot of descriptive information, which is used to set a scene.

The information used is very informative, detailed and graphic, which is used to the effect of painting a picture for the reader to see.

Instead of just saying, the sun was setting, Frazier goes into so much more detail, which makes the sunset sound really interesting. Page 23, `Low grey clouds massed at the flat horizon, but as the sun fell to earth line it found an opening in the clouds and shot a beam of light the colour of hot hickory coals straight upward . . . Five minutes.' This works very effectively...
