Chapters 5-11 Riders of the Purple Sage

I like how the author compares parts of the body to weather or landscape. For example,  the quote on page 39 that states “ Her rigidity loosened in one long quiver and she lay back limp, still, white as snow, with closed eyes.”
I thought it was interesting on page 40 the line where it says “Nevertheless, he tore sage-leaves from the bush, and pressing them tightly over her wounds, he bound the black scarf round her shoulder, tying it securely under her arm.” I guess when they are out on the land they have to do what they got to do.
On page 90 I thought was a great description about landscape, “The curved roof, stained by ages of leakage with buff and black and rust-colored streaks, swept up and loomed higher and seemed to soar to the rim of the cliff.”
