           There are many ways on how the book "Faithful" By: Janet Fox uses good figurative writing. Also another way the author uses good technique is just using elevated writing. But also there are areas in the book where she could elevate her words. A quote that shows her great word choice and description says "Lightning flickered on the far horizon, echoing the tiny lights strung from branch to branch in the gardens outside. In small parlor where the women gathered to primp, I found kitty, and we admired one another's dress. She was done up in blue silk that spilled in ten yards of rustling train. Her hair glittered with diamonds that matched her necklace" (Fox, 27-28). This quote not only has descriptive language but also it shows great setting and the reader can imagine it and expierience it with the main character Maggie. Some of the descriptive words that help the reader picture it is flickered, echoing, tiny, strung, and primp. If the author did not have these words in her book, her writing would be boring and nobody would want to read it. So if you want to keep the readers attention it's a good idea to have great vocabulary, figurative language, and more!
