One thing that I am realizing about the author of this novel, Zane Grey, is how he goes into great detail on body description. Which helps me understand why we talked about body composition and they way that each of us use our bodies during the beginning of this course. One quote that still sticks out to me is when Fay's body is being described in the first couple of chapters. On page 65 Zane goes into depth talking about her appearance. "Fay was a child of outdoors, of the garden and ditch and field, and she was dirty and ragged. But rags and dirt did not hide her beauty. The one thin little bedraggled garment she wore half covered her fine, slim body. Red as cherries were her cheeks and lips; her eyes were violet blue, and the crown of her childish loveliness was the curling golden hair" (Zane 65). Personally I think he describes Fay in more of an adult manner than a child like she is. This raises some question for me. Why does he talk her up so much when she is only a young girl?
