Anyway, upon reaching the clearing where the house is located it became abundantly clear to Lloyd that Emil does not like whoever he was talking to.

The last patch was all too familiar to Lloyd, it is in the design that Lloyd himself had created when he first started the Rebellion Army, by the look of the man in front of him; along with what little news that he got so far out in the middle of nowhere; Lloyd could tell that his once small Rebellion Army has become a full out military with an unknown but most certainly large force in each branch.

In Edward Abbey writings he talks his descriptive encounters with nature in the deserts mostly about the snakes that he is watching. Abbey has a love for the deserts and this is why he writes about “The Serpents of Paradise”. In this story he used a lot of detail to make it feel like you know what is constantly going on, it almost felt like I was their and could imagine in my mind every moment I read. The way Abbey writes only makes me want to just keep reading. Abbey uses his senses to describe what he is seeing like the greasy wings of the ravens and what they sound like pretending to talk to him.
