William Bells novel.
In this novel William Bell uses lots of description and it makes you feel like you are actually there in China that is why it is a good novel .He describes everything in the novel so you can completely understand it and so you can get an image in your mind of what he is talking about.
"Sunny and hot with no breeze to stir the poplars it was still grey outside, but the cloud was higher up and moving at quite a clip" you can just picture the calm warm weather in the court yard and the clouds quickly drifting by.
"Sunlight flooded from behind a cloud onto the river. The water murmured through the tall reeds and in the trees birds sang to one another" this sentences description gives a peaceful feeling or image, in the readers mind it shows that china does have a peaceful side.
"The woman behind the counter had a big loose leaf binder open in front of her with dog-eared sheets of paper filled with names." To me I get an image of a tired lady at work rummaging through papers and that is exactly what William Bell is trying to get the reader to picture. The reader is suppose to get that image to understand the fact that a lot of foreigners are trying to go back to there home country, they are trying to get away from all the fighting in china. .
William Bell made a good choice by using so much description in his story it makes it a good novel. For people that have never been to china this story describes its peaceful side and its struggle with war and fighting. It also gives them a visual of how china looks and what the people are like that live there.
In conclusion I think that it was a great book and reason being he used a lot of description so you felt like you were in the book looking at what he is describing.
