Sentences of the Month:
1. At about ten o'clock in the morning the sun threw a bright dust-laden bar through one of the side windows, and in and out of the beam flies shot like rushing stars. ~Of Mice and Men
2. As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. ~Of Mice and Men
3. Next, we stepped into a massive atrium, bursting with jungle leaves, vines tumbling down, brances climbing toward the sky. ~Heaven is For Real
I am a very visual person, so Imagery impacts me strongly when I read. This number one sentence incorporates strong verb phrases like "threw a dust-laden bar" which give the image an action. Steinbeck also uses a simile to make flies sound more pleasant, because people would rather picture rushing stars than a bunch of flies in the window.
