¡®The floor was
mouse-grey, smooth, chilly concrete.¡¯
In
your own words, describe, in about two or three lines, what the barn¡¯s
floor would look like. The use of adjectives, such as ¡®grey¡¯, ¡®smooth¡¯ and ¡®chilly¡¯, gives the reader a clear idea of
what the floor would look like.
The reference to ¡®mouse¡¯
links to the poem¡¯s focus on nature.
